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?
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
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
