What total capacitances can you make by connecting a 4.14 µF and 8.81 µF capacitor together?
series ____µF
parallel____ µF
Given that,
Capacitance of the capacitor, C1 = 4.14 =
Capacitance of the capacitor, C2 = 8.81 =
(i) Capacitors, C1 and C2 connected in SERIES
Total equivalent Capacitance in series is expressed in the equation,
Where Cs is the total Capacitance
Therefore total Capacitance in series = 2.82
(ii) Capacitors, C1 and C2 connected in parallel
Total equivalent capacitance in parallel connection is expressed in the equation,
Cp is total capacitance in parallel connection.
Therefore total capacitance in parallel connection of these 2 capacitors = 12.95
