If the charge on the capacitor doesn't change the voltage will decrease. (V = Q/C). If it does change it depends on the circuit and what you do to it.matangi7 said:in series^

Thanks!
Even adding that they are in series isn't enough information.
You could mean:
The safe working voltage
The voltage drop through them
The voltage between the ends and ground
or??
