The total capacitance from capacitors that are connected in series are added up inversely; 1/Ctotal = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + ... + 1/Cn, where Cn is the capacitance of the nth capacitor.
When two or more capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference, the total capacitance decreases and the total voltage across the capacitors is divided among them based on their individual capacitances.
When capacitors are connected in parallel, the equivalent capacitance is the sum of the individual capacitances. When capacitors are connected in series, the equivalent capacitance is the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances.
When two or more capacitors are connected in parallel across a potential difference, the total capacitance increases. This is because the equivalent capacitance of capacitors in parallel is the sum of their individual capacitances.
Charge sharing between two capacitors connected in a circuit happens when one capacitor releases some of its stored charge to the other capacitor, equalizing their voltages. This occurs until both capacitors have the same voltage across them.
Yes, when capacitors are connected in parallel, they share the same voltage.
When two or more capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference, the total capacitance decreases and the total voltage across the capacitors is divided among them based on their individual capacitances.

Capacitors in connected in series result in a higher voltage rating, but lower capacitance. Two 470uF 50V capacitors connected in series will give you a total of 235uF, but you can put up to 100V across the series combination. Two 470uF 50V capacitors connected in parallel will give you a total of 940uF, across which you can put 50V (the voltage rating does not change for capacitors in parallel).
Two similar (non-polarized) capacitors connected in parallel will have double the capacitance of one, while two similar capacitors connected in series will have half the capacitance of one, so the ratio is four.

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.
to provide a discharge path for voltages.
When two or more capacitors are connected in parallel across a potential difference, the total capacitance increases. This is because the equivalent capacitance of capacitors in parallel is the sum of their individual capacitances.
capacitor's characteristic is charging and discharging. discharged energy will be dropped by load . so it is connected in parallel
Charge sharing between two capacitors connected in a circuit happens when one capacitor releases some of its stored charge to the other capacitor, equalizing their voltages. This occurs until both capacitors have the same voltage across them.
Capacitors are said to be connected together "in series" when they are effectively "daisy chained" together in a single line. The charging current ( iC ) flowing through the capacitors is THE SAME for all capacitors as it only has one path to follow. Then, Capacitors in Series all have the same current flowing through them as iT = i1 = i2 = i3 etc. Therefore each capacitor will store the same amount of electrical charge, Q on its plates regardless of its capacitance. This is because the charge stored by a plate of any one capacitor must have come from the plate of its adjacent capacitor. Therefore, capacitors connected together in series must have the same charge. QT = Q1 = Q2 = Q3 , etc.
Capacitors are said to be connected together "in parallel" when both of their terminals are respectively connected to each terminal of the other capacitor or capacitors. The voltage (Vc ) connected across all the capacitors that are connected in parallel is THE SAME. Then,Capacitors in Parallel have a "common voltage" supply across them giving: VC1 = VC2 = VC3 = VAB = 12V
