Question

23. Compare wiring capacitors in series versus wiring them in parallel in terms of Charge, Voltage, and Equivalent Capacitance. a. How much charge can you accumulate on each plate in series vs. in parallel? b. How does the voltage compare across the plates in series vs. parallel? c. How does the total capacitance compare? In series, charge remain same through each capacitor, while in parallel the charge gets divided In series, voltage gets divided, while in parallel voltage across each capacitor remains the same In series the total capacitance is smaller than the smallest capacitor., in parallel the total capacitance is the sum of all the capacitance 24. Which would you rather use and why? (i.e, which would be more economical if you were building a computer?)

Explanation / Answer

We should wire capacitance in paralle for computers.If it is connected in series,capacitance will be halved which makes us more use of capacitors which is not economical.In connected in parallel,capacitance will add up ,giving more capacitance to store energy.
