Connecting capacitors in series is no more difficult than connecting resistors in series. Capacitors can be connected to each other or to other types of components very easily because a capacitor has ...

Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

When capacitors are connected in series, the total capacitance is less than any one of the series capacitors’ individual capacitances. If two or more are connected, the overall effect is that of a ...
