Question

Two identical capacitors of capacitance c1 and c2 are connected in series

Answer 1

Answer:

Assume capacitance of two identical capacitors are ;

C(1) = a μF

C(2) = a μF

Since the two capacitors are arranged in series combination and identical , so their capacitance will be same.

C(1)= C(2) =a μF

1/C(total) = 1/C(1) + 1/C(2)

Substituting the values;

1/C(total) = [1/a+ 1/a] μF = 2/a μF

C(total) = a/2 μF

The total capacitance of the combination is a/2 μF.
