When multiple capacitors are placed in a circuit, the total voltage drop across the capacitors will still be equal to the applied voltage. However, the voltage drop across each individual capacitor may vary depending on their capacitances. The charge stored in each capacitor will also depend on their capacitances.
When multiple capacitors are placed in a circuit, the total voltage drop across the capacitors will still be equal to the applied voltage. However, the voltage drop across each individual capacitor may vary depending on their capacitances. The charge stored in each capacitor will also depend on their capacitances.
For example, if we have two capacitors in series with capacitances C1 and C2, the total capacitance will be smaller than either C1 or C2. The voltage drop across C1 will be smaller than the voltage drop across C2 if C1 is smaller than C2. However, the total charge stored in both capacitors will be the same.
On the other hand, if we have two capacitors in parallel, the total capacitance will be the sum of their individual capacitances. The voltage drop across each capacitor will be the same because they are connected in parallel. However, the charge stored in each capacitor may differ depending on their capacitances.
The complete question is-
How does placing more than one capacitor affect voltage drops and charge stored in a circuit?
How does the voltage drop across each capacitor compare?
