SERIES AND PARALLEL COMBINATIONS OF CAPACITORS

Several capacitors can be connected to be used in a variety of applications. They can be


arranged in two simple and common types of connections, known as series and parallel, for
which we can easily calculate the total capacitance. These two basic combinations, series, and
parallel can also be used as part of more complex connections.

The Series Combination of Capacitors


When this series combination is connected to a battery
with voltage V, each of the capacitors acquires an identical
charge Q.

The Parallel Combination of Capacitors


A parallel combination of three capacitors, with one
plate of each capacitor connected to one side of the circuit and
the other plate connected to the other side. Since the
capacitors are connected in parallel, they all have the same
voltage V across their plates.

Learning Competency with Code


Calculate the equivalent capacitance of a network of capacitors connected in series/parallel
(STEM_GP12EM-IIId-24)

EXERCISE. SOLVE ME!

INSTRUCTION: Show your solution completely by providing the given/s, the unknown/s,
the formula, and the final answers with the appropriate unit/s. Final answers should be
rounded up to two decimal places. YOUR OUTPUTS SHOULD BE HANDWRITTEN!

Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure below. Determine the following:
A. Total Capacitance (CT)
B. Total Charge (QT)
C. Individual Charges (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4)
D. Voltage drop in each capacitor (V1, V2, V3, V4)

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times.


REFLECTION:

This second learning activity sheet is still the same lesson as the first one. The discussion is a big
help for me in answering the problem. The provided examples served as my guide in achieving the
correct answer. Upon the process of solving the problem, I was able to check the PowerPoint posted
in the google classroom and scan for the part where I think can help me. The formals introduced are
not that difficult for me to familiarize with. I had fun along the way because I know in myself that this
task is an instrument in enhancing my knowledge about the topic discussed by the teacher last week.

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene Protocols at all times.
