Series combination of capacitors

What is series combination?
(i) series combination. When two or more resistors are connected end to end consecutively, they are said to be connected in series combination. The combined resistance of any number of resistances connected in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances.

What is series and parallel combination of capacitors?
If two or more capacitors are connected in series, the overall effect is that of a single (equivalent) capacitor having the sum total of the plate spacings of the individual capacitors. ... When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitors' capacitances.

How do you calculate capacitors in series?
Capacitors in Series Summary

Two or more capacitors in series will always have equal amounts of coulomb charge across their plates. As the charge, ( Q ) is equal and constant, the voltage drop across the capacitor is determined by the value of the capacitor only as V = Q ÷ C.
