Consider N number of capacitor with +ve and -ve charged plates .If connection to all the plates with similar charges originate from same point, you can consider this can be parallel and if the +ve and negative plates are connected then it is in series.

The capacitors will be in parallel if they have a common input point as well as a common output point. The capacitors will be in series if the output of one capacitor is the input of another capacitor.

If u consider left side plate of the all capacitors is positive and another one is -ve then When same charges given to the same side of the plates at a time would consider parallel.....

When capacitors are connected across each other (side by side) this is called a parallel connection and When capacitors are connected one after each other(end to end) this is called series connection.

Physics becomes quite easy when the curiosity and interest is invoked.

Series, When there is only one possible path for the charge to flow.. Parallel, when both plates of all the capacitors have same potential (common potential difference), it happens when one plate of all capacitors are connected by conducting wire(so have same potential) and the second plate of...

for capacitance in parallel use formula : Capacitance (total) = capacitance of 1st capacitor + capacitance of 2nd capacitor + .... + up to n no. of capacitors. For capacitance in parallel use : C (total) = 1/ { (1/C1) + (1/C2) + (1/C3) + ... + (1/Cn) } NOTE :- C is used as an abbreviation for Capacitance...

In series voltage is increase,in parallel decrease and current viceversa

Series are connected on ---ll---ll--- form Parallel are connected with ------ll----- ------ll-----

I would like to teach Physics and electronics and communication

By knowing phase value of circuit, if it is positive then it is in parallel other wise it is in series.

Check the voltage across them, for same voltage they are in parallel
