Three capacitors of the same capacity C1 = C2 = C3 = 12 μF are connected in series. Determine their equivalent capacity.

To find the value of the equivalent capacity of the created battery, we will use the formula (we take into account that the capacitors used have the same electrical capacity): 1 / C = k / C1, from where we express: C = C1 / k.

Variables: C1 – capacity of each of the three capacitors used (C1 = 12 μF); k is the number of capacitors (k = 3 pcs.).

Calculation: C = C1 / k = 12/3 = 4 μF.

Answer: The created battery has an equivalent capacity of 4 μF.
