Three capacitors C1 C2 and C3 are connected in ... - SS2 Physics Electromagnetism Question

Three capacitors, C1, C2, and C3, are connected in series. C1 has a capacitance of 4 μF, C2 has a capacitance of 6 μF, and C3 has a capacitance of 8 μF. What is the total capacitance of the combination?

The total capacitance of capacitors connected in series is given by the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances.

1/Total capacitance = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3

1/Total capacitance = 1/4 μF + 1/6 μF + 1/8 μF

1/Total capacitance = (3/12 + 2/12 + 3/24) μF

1/Total capacitance = 8/24 μF

1/Total capacitance = 1/3 μF

Total capacitance = 3 μF

Therefore, the total capacitance of the combination is 3 μF.
