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
