The total capacitance of charged capacitors in series can be calculated by using the formula C = 1/(1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3 + ...), where C1, C2, C3, etc. are the individual capacitances of the capacitors in series.
To find the charge on each capacitor in a series circuit, you can use the formula Q = CV, where Q is the charge, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage across the capacitor. Make sure to use the same voltage for all capacitors in the series circuit.
In a series circuit with charged capacitors, the voltage across each capacitor will be different. The total voltage across all the capacitors will be equal to the sum of the individual voltages. This is because the capacitors share the same charge, but have different capacitances.
No, you cannot connect charged capacitors in series without a wire. The wire is necessary to create a complete circuit and allow the flow of charge between the capacitors. Without a wire, the capacitors will not be connected and the circuit will not work.
The total energy stored in a series circuit with charged capacitors is equal to the sum of the energy stored in each individual capacitor. However, the energy stored in a single capacitor is generally greater than the energy stored in a series circuit with the same capacitors. This is because in a series circuit, the capacitors share the same charge, whereas in a single capacitor, all the charge is stored in one place.
