If i am given a total capacitence of two capacitors, their capacitence togather is 22 f. what capacitence would the individual capacitors have if they are connected in parallel or connected in series.

In parallel combination, the capacity of each capacitor is 11 F.

In series combination, the capacity of each capacitor is 44 F.

Explanation:

Let there are two capacitors each of capacitance C.

When they are connected in parallel:

In parallel combination, the effective capacitance is Cp.

Cp = C1 + C2 = C + C

22 = 2 C

C = 11 F

When they are connected in series:

In parallel combination, the effective capacitance is Cs.

1 / Cs = 1 / C1 + 1 / C2 = 1 / C + 1 / C = 2 / C

1 / 22 = 2 / C

C = 44 F
