Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Two capacitors, C1 and C2, are connected in series. What is the equivalent capacitance?
Correct Answer: 1 / (1/C1 + 1/C2)
  • Step 1: Identify the values of the two capacitors, C1 and C2.
  • Step 2: Write down the formula for equivalent capacitance in series: 1 / (1/C1 + 1/C2).
  • Step 3: Calculate 1/C1 and 1/C2 separately.
  • Step 4: Add the results from Step 3 together.
  • Step 5: Take the reciprocal of the sum from Step 4 to find the equivalent capacitance.
