Where, C T = Total capacitance of the circuitĬapacitance Equation for two special cases is determined below:Ĭase I: if there are two capacitor in series, with different value the capacitance will be expressed as: (1 / C T) = (C 1 + C 2) / (C 1 * C 2) Or, C T = (C 1 * C 2) / (C 1 + C 2) … equation (2)Ĭase II: if there are two capacitor in series, with same value the capacitance will be expressed as: (1 / C T) = 2C / C 2 = 2 / C Or, C T = C / 2 Hence, the above equation is the Series Capacitors Equation. Now, on putting the above values in the equation (1) (1 / C T) = (1 / C 1) + (1 / C 2) + (1 / C 3)įor n number of capacitor in series the equation will be (1 / C T) = (1 / C 1) + (1 / C 2) + (1 / C 3) + …. Where, V C1 = Q / C 1 V C2 = Q / C 2 V C3 = Q / C 3 Q T = Q 1 = Q 2 = Q 3), because charge stored by a plate of any capacitor comes from the plate of adjacent capacitor in the circuit.īy applying Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) in the circuit, we have V T = V C1 + V C2 + V C3 … equation (1) Hence, the charge stored by the capacitors is also the same (i.e. The current through capacitors in series is equal (i.e.
In a circuit, when you connect capacitors in series as shown in the above image, the total capacitance is decreased. Here, we are going to demonstrate you the connections of a capacitor and effect due to it with examples.

How to Connect a Capacitor in Electronic Circuit? So, you know how a capacitor works and what are its uses or application, but you have to learn that how to use a capacitor in electronic circuits.
Now, the point is how a capacitor work? When you connect power supply to the capacitor it blocks the DC current due to insulating layer, and allow a voltage to be present across the plates in the form of electrical charge.
