Answer

Series ConnectionParallel Connection
1. Charge on each capacitor is same.Charge on each capacitor is different.
2. p.d. across two terminals of each capacitor is differentp.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 capacitanceValue of equivalent capacitance is more than the largest (/ greatest) capacitance

The magnetic field inside a tightly wound, long solenoid is $\text{B}=\mu_0\text{ni}.$ It suggests that the field does not depend on the total length of the solenoid, and hence if we add more loops at the ends of a solenoid the field should not increase. Explain qualitatively why the extra-added loops do not have a considerable effect on the field inside the solenoid.
