Capacitors and Capacitance
Devices that store electric charge and energy.
Capacitance
C = Q / V
Capacitance is the ability of a conductor to store charge per unit potential difference.
Combinations of Capacitors
| Combination | Rule |
|---|---|
| Series | 1/C = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + ... |
| Parallel | C = C₁ + C₂ + ... |
