Capacitors in Series Learning Goal: To understand how to calculate capacitance, voltage, and charge for a combination of capacitors connected in series. Consider the combination of capacitors shown in the figure.(Figure 1) Three capacitors are connected to each other in series, and then to the battery. The values of the capacitances are C, 2C, and 3C, and the applied voltage is ?V. Initially, all of the capacitors are completely discharged; after the battery is connected, the charge on plate 1 is Q.
