Expert Solution
Step 1 :Introduction

The equivalent capacitance of capacitors C1 and C2 in parallel is calculated by using the formula Cp=C1+C2 and in series is calculated by using the formula Cs=C1×C2C1+C2 .

 

The charge on a capacitor is calculated by using the formula q=CV , where is the voltage . The charge across capacitors in series are the same while in parallel the charge will be different . The voltage across capacitors in parallel are the same while in series the voltage will be different .
