Q1
What is the formula for the total capacitance of two capacitors in parallel?
  1. C_total = C1 + C2
  2. C_total = C1 * C2
  3. C_total = C1 / C2
  4. C_total = C1 - C2

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the formula for the total capacitance of two capacitors in parallel?
  • Step 1: Identify the two capacitors you have. Let's call them C1 and C2.
  • Step 2: Understand that when capacitors are in parallel, they work together to store more charge.
  • Step 3: To find the total capacitance, you simply add the capacitance values of the two capacitors.
  • Step 4: Write the formula: C_total = C1 + C2.
  • Step 5: If C1 is 2 microfarads and C2 is 3 microfarads, plug in the values: C_total = 2 + 3.
  • Step 6: Calculate the total: C_total = 5 microfarads.
