What is Series Capacitors?

Series capacitors are capacitors connected end-to-end in a circuit. The total or equivalent capacitance is less than any individual capacitor's capacitance and can be found by taking the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of each capacitor’s capacitance. The same charge flows through each capacitor, and the total voltage is the sum of the voltages across each capacitor.
