Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.

A good way to remember formula of capacitor and resistor in series or parallel is they are reverse of each other. In series, Req=R1+R2 and 1/Ceq=1/C1+1/C2 for example.

[@michaeladam626]

Is it a good idea to earth one side of the capacitor?

[@moinaction]

In order not to forget the last step when adding up capacitors in series just do (1/C1 + 1/C2)^-1 gives you the answer straight

[@MichaelMagill1990]

Concise.

[@domiNATEion]

Is there any practical applications to using multiple capacitors like this instead of one equivalent capacitor? To me it seems like more parts that could go bad...

[@Alinrzv]

You simply use more instead of one when you don't have "that one" or when you need a specific voltage / capacity that you can't find in an already built capacitor .... depends on what you build :) !

[@marakeshg8112]

Oh my.... I think I actually understood that.

How come the voltage is same should it be divide as current.

[@MUHAMMADZUBAIR-yk5nb]

Assalam u alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh sir doesn't it has to be that in parallel both the positive and negative sides should be attached directly.⁉️‼️

[@ANONYMOUS-sm9zb]

Why must they have the same charges which is 54C in the series part? Is it a rule?

[@resonantconsciousness9248]

Say I had a 200uf and a 680uf in parallel both of the same electrolytic type and voltage, would there be any difference in the time they take to discharge?

[@rbmarik6082]

you have two capacitors in a circuit.... the greater the capacitance of the capacitor, the more the charge will be stored across a parallel circuit...According to the formula E =VQ ,since energy transfer is inversely proportional to charge as voltage remains constant in a parallel circuit...the more the charge a capacitor will have, the less the energy it will get whilst discharging and..... the less the energy it gets, the more the time it will take to discharge so in that case what I think is probably the capacitor with greater capacitance will take more time to discharge compared to the capacitor with smaller capacitance..

[@MB25MA]

Thumbs up

[@mixvideos188]

If the two capacitor connected in series what well be the resistance?

[@nalafischer9163]

You calculate it the same way as resistors in parallel. He has a vision on it

[@stormrageillidan1039]

good luck charging a 9F capacitor with 8V batery

[@herroberliutenantlang5965]

its a military grade capacitor.

[@tarike5613]

what about 27F one😂

[@7356205]

Why? Doesn’t it just draw amperage until it reaches the 9f limit?

[@braceyourselvesfortruth2492]

@@7356205 capacitance is charge over volts. You would need 9F * 8V = 72 Coulombs of charge to make this happen. This is an IMMENSE charge and your battery would likely die long before it was able to do such a thing. Furthermore, without a resistor to slow it down, it's highly likely the high current draw would rupture the cell soon after being wired in. A resistor in series would help, but it would also consume extra power and mean even less charge would store in the cap before the battery dies. Also, the voltage of the battery would drop gradually as it reaches the point of being effectively "dead" though in an idealized circuit we only approach this condition.

[@7356205]

Thankyou and makes sense. I guess I was thinking about lead acid batteries, don’t they only discharge so quickly? I mean they can’t discharge as quickly as a lithium battery right?

[@vivekgupta3692]

*Capacitors Connected In Parallel* The capacitor are said to be connected in parallel when there positive plates are directly connected to each other , and their negative plates are also directly connected to each other. *Capacitors Connected In Series* The capacitor are said to be connected in series if they are hooked one right after the other. _Or_ The positive side of one capacitor directly connected to negative side of other capacitor.

[@Bodragon]

You say "coulombs" as though they are a unit of resistance. I am not having a malicious "go at you" but to pronounce coulombs as "cool - ohms" could, quite easily confuse the novice or "newbie". I apologise upfront for stoking your ire but please. Please have a little consideration for those (of us. Yes, that includes me!), who are just beginning this wonderful electronic journey.
