Question

Two identical capacitors are connected in series. Is the resulting capacitance greater or loess than that of each individual capacitor.​

Answer 1

Answer:

When capacitors are connected in series, the total capacitance is less than any one of the series capacitors' individual capacitances. If two or more capacitors are connected in series, the overall effect is that of a single (equivalent) capacitor having the sum total of the plate spacings of the individual capacitors.

Answer 2

Given : Two identical capacitors are connected in series

To Find :   Is the resulting capacitance greater or less than that of each individual capacitor.​

Solution:

Let say two capacitors are C₁  and C₂

Capacitor connected in series

=> 1/Ceq  = 1/ C₁  + 1/C₂

=> Ceq =   C₁ C₂ /( C₁ + C₂ )

 Ceq < C₁ , C₂

Hence resulting capacitance  less than that of each individual capacitor.​

Additional Info:

if connected in parallel

Ceq  =   C₁  +  C₂

Ceq > C₁ , C₂

Hence resulting capacitance greater than that of each individual capacitor.
