When capacitors is arrange in series (3 capacitors), the equivalent capacitance C is

C = C₁ + C₂ + C₃

1/C = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

C = QV₁ + QV₂ + QV₃

C = CR₁ + CR₂ + CR₃

When capacitors in parallel (3 capacitors), the equivalent capacitance is

C = C₁ + C₂ + C₃

C = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

C = QV₁ + QV₂ + QV₃
