It looks like all three of your capacitors have the same value. So the effective
capacitance when they're all conected in series is 1/3 of that value = 0.005 fd.

What is pn junction capacitance?
The charge inside of a p-n diode with a connected voltage variety yields a capacitance is need to add circuit model of a p-n diode. The capacitance connected with the charge variety in the exhaustion layer is known as the intersection capacitance, in the same process capacitance connected with the abundance bearers in the semi impartial district is known as the dissemination capacitance.
Why capacitor connected in parallel in circuit?
Any answer "why" will depend on the rest of the circuit, which may an electric motor, a filter, or any number of other applications.If you're asking about 2 or capacitors in parallel, it is to provide a higher capacitance, since the total C will be the sum of each device's individual capacitances.Ctotal = C1 + C2 + C3 ...+ CnConversely capacitors in series obey the reciprocal law:1/Ctotal = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3 ...+ 1/Cn
How do you connect a trimmer capacitor?
Trimmer capacitors are used to calibrate (trim) the capacitance in a circuit. They are connected in parallel with some other capacitor, and the circuit is calibrated by observation of response to known stimuli. Since trimmer capacitors are often used in RF circuits, it is generally not possible to make measurement of the capacitors out of circuit because parasitic capacitance at RF is not negligible. Additional question received on April 6th: "I have a 3 terminal trim cap; 2 terminals read continuity, the other not. My question is how do I connect this in a circuit?" In all probability, the two terminals that read continuity are the same terminal, and are simply provided to give three point mechanical stability when soldered into a circuit. You would connect the two terminals that do not have continuity, using either of the terminals that do have continuity, across the capacitor that needed to be "trimmed".
What is the difference between LC and RC filters?
LC means coil capacitance circuit RC means resistance capacitance circuit
What type of circuit is it when capacitors are combined with resistors?
RC Circuit
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.
What is the equivalence capacitance of combinations?
Equivalence capacitance for system of two capacitors in parallel circuit is Ce = C1 + C2 Equivalence capacitance for system of two capacitors in serial circuit is 1/Ce = 1/C1 + 1/C2
Two capacitors of 2µF are connected in parallel A 1 µF capacitor is added in series What is the combined capacitance?
For capacitors connected in parallel the total capacitance is the sum of all the individual capacitances. The total capacitance of the circuit may by calculated using the formula: where all capacitances are in the same units.
What are uses of series and parallel capacitor combination?
Capacitors may be connected in series to provide a capacitance with an effective working voltage higher than that of any of the individual units, (but the effective capacitance is less than that of any individual.) Capacitors may be connected in parallel to provide an effective capacitance value greater than that of any of the individual units, (but working voltage is equal to the lowest among the individuals).
Why is it capacitance does not affect current in a Direct Current circuit?
Capacitors resist a change in voltage, proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance. In a DC circuit, the voltage is not changing. Therefore, after equilibrium is reached, there is no current flowing through the capacitor.

Why use capacitors with crystal oscillator?
There are two kinds of crystal oscillators. One operates at what is called the "series resonance" of the crystal. This resonance is the frequency at which the (AC) impedance between the pins of the crystal is almost zero. The frequency is independent of how much capacitance happens to be in parallel with the crystal - its inside the oscillator and part of the circuit board, etc. But, even frequency that the oscillator runs at.The other kind of oscillator oscillates at "parallel resonance"of the crystal. At this frequency, the impedance from pin to pin of the crystal is almost infinite. This frequency depends on how much capacitance is connected in parallel with the crystal. This parallel capacitance is called "load capacitance". Generic signal-inverter oscillator is this kind of oscillator.The common oscillator connection is for the crystal to be connected from the inverter output to the input. And, there is a capacitor at each end of the crystal to ground. The NET load capacitance is SERIES equivalent value of those two capacitors.PLUS stray capacitance from the circuit board and the guts of the oscillator. Suppose that the crystal is rated for 22pF load capacitance. The stray capacitance is about 7pF. So, that leave 15pF to be made up from discrete external capacitors. If the external capacitors are equal, then their equivalent is half of their individual value. Thus, in this case, we would want a pair of 30pF capacitors.

What would happen if more capacitors were added to a series circuit already containing two capacitors?
A: For one thing the total capacitance will decrease . If the voltage rating are different then more problem will become evident. That is if they are added in series.

Why voltage gain decreases at high frequency in case of a transformer coupled amplifier?
Depends on the elements used in the circuit.1.At Low frequency: The coupling capacitors are used to isolate the AC input and output from DC bias conditions for active devices. These capacitors with the input and output impedance of the active device act as a high pass RC filter, hence the gain falls.2. At High Frequency: The frequency is high, but not as high as the microwave frequencies. There are two reasonsa>The capacitance of connecting wires are connected in parallel the i/p and o/p. When a capacitor is connected in parallel it acts as low pass filter, hence the voltage gain falls. This is when the frequency is high but not high as microwave frequencies.b> The parasitic capacitance's of the active device are connected in parallel with the i/p and o/p terminals. They along with the device impedances act as low pass filter.
How do you calculate total energy for a circuit that has three capacitors(10µF 15µF and 30µf) and a 20v dc supply?
Energy = (Capacitance*(Voltage)^2)/2. Three capacitors are there. Are they in series or in parallel. It is not mentioned. So friend has given only the formula as guidelines.
