Step-by-step explanation:
Equivalent Capacitance:
If we connect several capacitors to the same circuit, they will behave the same as a single capacitor that replaces the entire circuit. The capacitance of this hypothetical capacitor is called the equivalent capacitance of that combination,
C
e
q
.
In order to find the total equivalent capacitance of some combination, we often have to work step-by-step, finding the equivalent capacitance of some small part of the configuration, then expanding this to find the equivalent capacitance of a larger chunk, and so on. The two tools in this step-by-step process are the formulas for equivalent capacitance in series and equivalent capacitance in parallel.
If several capacitors are in series, then the equivalent capacitance is the sum of each individual capacitance.

If several capacitors are in series, the equivalent capacitance is the harmonic sum of every capacitance:

One tip to remember these rules is that they are the opposite of resistors. Resistors in series add like capacitors in parallel; capacitors in series add like resistors in parallel.
