Question
Write down the difference between series and parallel connection of capacitors
✓
Answer
| Series Connection | Parallel Connection |
| 1. Charge on each capacitor is same. | Charge on each capacitor is different. |
| 2. p.d. across two terminals of each capacitor is different | p.d. across two terminals of each capacitor is same. |
| 3. Equivalent capacitance of series connection $\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{C_1}+\frac{1}{C_2}+\frac{1}{C_3}+\ldots$ | Equivalent capacitance for parallel connection $C = C _1+ C _2+ C _3+\ldots$ |
| 4. Value of equivalent capacitance is smaller than the smallest capacitance | Value of equivalent capacitance is more than the largest (/ greatest) capacitance |
