I think so. For such a small case a closed formula doesn't make sense to me and for very many passive circuit elements like resistors, capacitors or coils I am quite sure to not have a closed mathematical formula at all - plus, there is no usage for such a general case.Callumnc1 said:
The total capacitance of a circuit can be calculated by adding the individual capacitances of each capacitor in series, or by using the reciprocal method for capacitors in parallel.
To determine the possible combinations of capacitors, you can use the formula Ceq = C1 + C2 + ... + Cn for capacitors in series, or the formula 1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + ... + 1/Cn for capacitors in parallel. Substitute the known values for Ceq and one of the capacitors, and solve for the remaining capacitor(s).
Yes, you can use capacitors with different values in a circuit. However, the total capacitance will depend on the specific combination of capacitors used.
The best combination of capacitors for a circuit will depend on the specific requirements and constraints of the circuit. Factors to consider include the desired capacitance, voltage rating, and physical size of the capacitors.
There is no specific limit to the number of capacitors that can be used in a circuit. However, using too many capacitors may result in a complex and inefficient circuit design. It is important to carefully consider the trade-offs and choose the most practical combination of capacitors for a circuit.
