Question

If a 20 mu F capacitor and a 300 mu F capacitor were connected in series, what single capacitor could be used as a replacement for them and have the same effect in the electrical circuit? If a 20 mu F capacitor and a 300 mu F capacitor were connected in parallel, what single capacitor could be used as a replacement for them and have the same effect in the electrical circuit? A) 1f you had 3 capacitors, all with the same capacitance C, then what would the equivalent capacitance be if they were connected in series? B) Determine the equivalent capacitance of 4 equal capacitors in series. C) Do you see the pattern developing? how about N capacitors in series?

Explanation / Answer

4)

NO, The circuit will be open.

5)

yes, if you remove one of the capacitor also, the circuit will in close.

6)

A)

equivalent capacitance=C/3

B)

equivalent capacitance=C/4

C)

equivalent capacitance=C/N
