Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance
Class 12 · Electrostatic Potential & Capacitance
Capacitors in Parallel
C_eq = ΣCᵢ. Same V. Charge splits proportionally to C.
Key Notes
01
In parallel: same V across each capacitor.
02
Charges add: Q_total = ΣQᵢ.
03
C_eq = ΣCᵢ. Total is sum of all.
Formulas
Parallel
Direct addition.
Important Points
Used for energy storage: more capacitors → more total charge at same V.
Two equal caps in parallel: C_eq = 2C.
