Capacitors in direct current circuits
Effect of series/parallel connections on total capacitance.
Part of the course: Electricity & Circuits I — DC Fundamentals
Mission
Studying the effect of connecting the capacitors in series or in parallel on the total capacitance inside the circuit.
Variables
What you change
- Capacitors Values
What you measure
- Total Capacitance
What you keep constant
- Wire length
- Wire cross section
- Temperature of wire
Equations
C_eq = Equivalent capacitance (uF)
C_1 = First capacitor Capacitance (uF)
C_2 = Second capacitor Capacitance (uF)
In Parallel: C_eq = C_1 + C_2
In Series: \frac{1}{C_eq}= \frac{1}{C_1}+ \frac{1}{C_2}
What You'll Need
- Breadboard 400 Tie Point
- Arduino Uno
- I2C LCD
- Red LED
- Resistor
- 3300 uf Capacitors
