Objective

Measuring the capacitance of series combination of capacitors.

Procedure for two capacitors

• Connect the capacitors as shown in the figure.
• Click on “Capacitance on IN1” . Should not touch the circuit while measuring

Discussion

For a series combination of capacitors, the effective capacitance is given by the relation (1)/(C) = (1)/(C₁) + (1)/(C₂) + ⋯.
