Phone C1 In μf (micro farad) C2 In μf (micro farad) C3 In μf (micro farad) Applied Voltage Volts Capacitors in series connection Capacitors in series connection Total capacitance, CT = μf Charge Q = μC In μC (micro coulomb) For series-connected capacitors, the charge Q on each capacitor is the same, Q1=Q2=Q3=Q. But the potential difference across each capacitor is different. Voltage across Capacitor C1 V1 = v In volts Voltage across Capacitor C2 V2 = v In volts Voltage across Capacitor C3 V3 = v In volts Capacitors in parallel connection Capacitors in parallel connection Total capacitance, CT = μf For parallel-connected capacitors, the potential difference across each capacitor is the same, V1=V2=V3=V. But the charge on each is different. Charge across Capacitor C1 Q1 = μC In μC Charge across Capacitor C2 Q2 = μC In μC Charge across Capacitor C3 Q3 = μC In μC
