Mathematically, you handle capacitors in series like resistors and inductors in parallel,

and capacitors in parallel like resistors and inductors in series.

A circuit contains a 10 pF capacitor and a 50 pF capacitor connected in parallel.What is the total capacitance of this circuit?

When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance in the circuit in which they are connected is the sum of both capacitances. Capacitors in parallel add like resistors in series, while capacitors in series add like resistors in parallel.


How do you figure the capacitance of a circuit?

Capacitors in parallel are like resistors in series...CPARALLEL = C1 + C2RSERIES = R1 + R2Capacitors in series are like resistors in parallel...CSERIES = C1C2 / (C1 + C2)RPARALLEL = R1R2 / (R1 + R2)


If two capacitors of capacitance 22 microfarads and 45 microfarads are connected in series what will be the equivalant capacitance?

Capacitors in series are like resistors in parallel.CSERIES = C1 C2 / ( C1 + C2 )Plug 22 and 45 into that equation and you get about 15 microfarads.


What is the effect on the circuit if we add a capactior in parallel with another capacitor?

Capacitors in parallel simply add up, similar to resistors in series... CTOTAL = sumI=1-N (CI) Capacitors in series work like resistors in parallel... CTOTAL = 1 / sumI=1-N (1 / CI)


Why do you need resistors?

Resistors are used for a variety of purposes: to allow voltage levels to be reduced when in series circuits, to bleed off capacitors, to assert the output level of tri-state or open collector microchips and to protect circuits from damage.


Can you double the volts by connecting two capacitors?

Two capacitors can be connected in series to double the voltage rating, but they must be identical capacitors and they should each have a resistor in parallel to equalise the voltages, the resistors chosen to pass about 1 mA. With two capacitors in series the overall capacitance is half the capacitance of either capacitor. The combination stores equal charge at double the voltage and the stored energy is doubled.


What if four capacitors of equal value are in series?

The total capacitance is one fourth of the capacitance of the individual capacitors. The voltage rating is four times the voltage rating of the individual capacitors (however to prevent uneven charging of the four capacitors and failure of one or more they must be paralleled with a voltage divider composed of four equal value resistors).


What is ocillating?

In electronics, it is a circuit which repetitively produces a certain output. This may be a series of pulses or a repetitive waveform such as sine, sawtooth or ramp. In mechanics, a pendelum is an oscillator. An oscillator is the series and parallel combination of resistors and capacitors.


Which has a highest resistance between shunt resistor and series resistor?

If you are placing more than one resistors in series, then its combined resistance is higher than when you place these resistors in shunt.


What are Resistors wired in series?

Resistors are wired in series when they are connected in a line. The current flows through the resistors one after the other.


What are Relationship between the voltage drop across the resistors and the currents through the resistors when resistors are connected in parallel?

A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage. In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source.
