Expert Solution
Step 1

In series combination of capacitor charge is same.

Equivalent capacitance of the capacitor in series combination.

1C = 1C1 +1C2 +.... +1Cn 

In parallel combination the voltage across is same,

Equivalent capacitance of the parallel combination of the capacitor.

C = C1+C2 + .... +Cn
