Capacitance in Series. Figure (PageIndex{1})(a) shows a series connection of three capacitors with a voltage applied. As for any capacitor, the capacitance of the combination is related to charge and voltage by (C=dfrac{Q}{V}).
Figure 8.3.1 8.3. 1: (a) Three capacitors are connected in series. The magnitude of the charge on each plate is Q. (b) The network of capacitors in (a) is equivalent to one capacitor that has a smaller capacitance than any of the individual capacitances in (a), and the charge on its plates is Q.
Capacitors in series draw the same current and store the same amount of electrical charge irrespective of the capacitance value. In this article, we will learn the series connection of capacitors and will also derive the expressions of their equivalent capacitance.
Note that in a series network of capacitors, the equivalent capacitance is always less than the smallest individual capacitance in the network. A parallel combination of three capacitors, with one plate of each capacitor connected to one side of the circuit and the other plate connected to the other side, is illustrated in Figure 8.12 (a).
When voltage is first applied across the block, the same current flows through all the capacitors and as a result, charge shift occurs. Electrons are carried from one plate of each capacitor to the other, which means that the charge stored by a plate of any of the capacitors must have come from the adjacent capacitor’s plate.
For series capacitors, each capacitor holds the same Coulomb charge because the charge on each plate is transferred from the adjacent plate. As current is the flow of electrons, current is also equal in a series circuit. The overall capacitance in a series circuit is referred to as the equivalent capacitance.
As for any capacitor, the capacitance of the combination is related to the charge and voltage by using Equation 8.1. When this series combination is connected to a battery with voltage V, each of the capacitors acquires an identical charge Q.
