Question

What happen when capacitor is connected in parallel?

Answer 1

Circuit diagram for parallel capacitor

1. A capacitor is a device it will be used to store energy.
2. When the capacitor is connected parallel, the resultant capacitance increases and will be able to store more energy.
3. When capacitors are connected in parallel connection then the equivalent capacitance is equal to the sum of the individual capacitors.
4. The total capacitance of the given circuit is $\mathrm{C}\mathrm{Total}={\mathrm{C}}_1+{\mathrm{C}}_2+{\mathrm{C}}_3+...$
