a 6 mf capacitor, a 10 mf capacitor, and a 16 mf capacitor are connected in series. what is their equivalent capacitance?

The equivalent capacitors of the parallel connection are 32mf.The reciprocal of the equivalent capacitance of two capacitors connected in series is the sum of the reciprocals of their individual capacitances. The effective capacitance of the two capacitors is 2 µF when connected in series and 9 µF when connected in parallel. It is clear that connecting two capacitors in series reduces their total capacitance value.If two or more capacitors are connected in series the sum is the effect of one capacitor over the sum of the plate distances of the individual capacitors. As we saw earlier all other factors being equal, increasing disk spacing decreases capacity. When capacitors are connected in series, it is called a series connection. For capacitors connected in series, the total capacitance can be found by adding the reciprocals of the individual capacitances and taking the reciprocal of the total.Learn more about Equivalent capacitance here:-https://brainly.com/question/17207152#SPJ4
