Parallel Capacitance

Parallel capacitance is the capacitance given by two capacitors arranged in parallel.

The equivalent capacitance of two capacitors arranged in parallel equals the sum of the capacitances of the constituent capacitors.

Formula

QuantityVariable["C", "ElectricCapacitance"] == QuantityVariable[Subscript["C", "1"], "ElectricCapacitance"] + QuantityVariable[Subscript["C", "2"], "ElectricCapacitance"]

symbol description physical quantity
C equivalent capacitance "ElectricCapacitance"
C1 capacitance 1 "ElectricCapacitance"
C2 capacitance 2 "ElectricCapacitance"
