Expert Solution
Step 1

Capacitors connected in parallel have an equivalent capacitance given as

Cp=C1+C2+C3+...

Capacitors connected in series have an equivalent capacitance given as

1Cs=1C1+1C2+1C3+...

For capacitors connected in parallel, voltage across each capacitor is the same, while for capacitors connected in series, the charge on each capacitor is the same.
