Capacitors can be arranged in two simple and common types of connections, known as series and parallel, for which we can easily calculate the total capacitance. These two basic combinations, series and parallel, can also be used as part of more complex connections.

- 19.6: Capacitors in Series and Parallel
Use our capacitor calculator to find the total capacitance for a set of capacitors in series or parallel, plus learn the formulas used.
This capacitors in series calculator helps you evaluate the equivalent value of capacitance of up to 10 individual capacitors. In the text, you'll find how adding capacitors in series works, what the difference between capacitors in series and in parallel is, and how it corresponds to the combination of resistors.
Derive expressions for total capacitance in series and in parallel. Identify series and parallel parts in the combination of connection of capacitors. Calculate the effective capacitance in series and parallel given individual capacitances.
In parallel, the total capacitance can be thought of as the sum of the plate areas of all the capacitors. As plate area is proportional to capacitance, the total capacitance in parallel is the sum of the individual ones: CT OT. = C 1 + C2 + C3 + ... Alternatively these equations can be derived using the formula C = Q /V .
Connecting Capacitors in Series and in Parallel. Goal: find “equivalent” capacitance of a single capacitor (simplifies circuit diagrams and makes it easier to calculate circuit properties) Find Ceq in terms of C1, C2,... to satisfy Ceq = Q/ΔV.
Explain how to determine the equivalent capacitance of capacitors in series and in parallel combinations. Compute the potential difference across the plates and the charge on the plates for a capacitor in a network and determine the net capacitance of a network of capacitors.
