What is the total capacitance when two capacitors C1 and C2 are connected in series?(a) (C1+C2)/C1C2(b) 1/C1+1/C2(c) C1C2/(C1+C2)(d) C1+C2This question was addressed to me during an online interview.I would like to ask this question from Capacitors in Series topic in chapter Capacitance and Capacitors of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer» RIGHT CHOICE is (c) C1C2/(C1+C2)

Explanation: When CAPACITORS are connected in series, the EQUIVALENT capacitance is:

1/Ctotal=1/C1+1/C2, therefore Ctotal = C1C2/(C1+C2).
