Series / parallel capacitors

Find the combined capacitance of ideal capacitors in series or parallel.

Ideal capacitance combinations. Voltage ratings, ESR, polarity and stored-energy precautions require separate checks.

Results

Add capacitor values, then calculate.

Ideal capacitors. For series, every value must be > 0.

Check the stated method and limits against your installation. Results are calculation aids, not certification.
