Question

Do capacitors in series increase voltage?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The answer is NO.

Since, when we connected two capacitors in series and connect them to a voltage source, then the input voltage divides across the capacitors based on their capacitive reactance and thus, we haven’t changed the voltage rating of the capacitor by connecting it in series with another capacitor,

Hence, as a consequence of the series combination of capacitors, the voltage is reduced in the capacitor.
