Series connection of capacitors

Using the calculator, you can easily calculate the capacitance of capacitors in an electrical circuit with series connections. In this case, you only need to enter data regarding the number of capacitors.

This connection is made when all elements are arranged one after another without branches. In this case, the charges on the plates have the same magnitude, and the voltage is divided among the capacitors proportionally to their capacitance.
