Question

why are capacitors joined in (I) parallel (II) series combinations?

Solution

Dear Student,

The capacitors are joined in parallel and series combinations to construct different value of equivalent capacitors from given set of capacitors. As, capacitor of each and every values are not available to us, so we can construct different sets of values from any given sets of capacitors according to the requirement.
