1.3 Capacitors (contd.)

Capacitors dissipate no power and add in the opposite way to resistors. Any combination of capacitors in series can be represented by a single capacitor of value C given by
1/C = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3
for example.

Any combination of capacitors in parallel can be replaced by a single capacitor of value C given by

C = C1 + C2 + C3
for example.
