Two capacitors C 5 F and C 10 F are connected i... - SS2 Physics Electricity and Magnetism Question
Two capacitors, C₁ = 5 μF and C₂ = 10 μF, are connected in series. What is the total capacitance of the combination?
The total capacitance, Ctotal, is given by the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances:
1/Ctotal = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂
= 1/(5 μF) + 1/(10 μF)
= (1/5 + 1/10) μF
= 3/10 μF
Ctotal = 10/3 μF = 3.33 μF
