Connecting Electrolytic Capacitors In Series. If the capacitors are electrolytic capacitor extra care should be taken with the polarity. For instance if you combine three 100 μf capacitors in parallel the total capacitance of the circuit is 300 μf.
You can combine capacitors in series or parallel networks to create any capacitance value you need in an electronic circuit. When capacitors are connected in series and a voltage is applied across this connection the voltages across each capacitor are generally not equal but depend on the capacitance values. A series connection of capacitors is when the end of one capacitor is connected to the start of the next capacitors.
Combine capacitors in parallel.
You can combine capacitors in series or parallel networks to create any capacitance value you need in an electronic circuit. This is i believe how one arrives at the situation of having a non polarized electrolytic capacitor. More precisely the ratio of the voltages across individual capacitors is the inverse of the ratio of the capacitance values of each individual capacitor in the series. The wire of the first capacitor must be connected to the wire of the next one like when connecting batteries in series.
