Series Capacitance

Series capacitance is the capacitance given by two capacitors arranged in series.

The equivalent capacitance of two capacitors arranged in series equals the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the capacitances of the constituent capacitors.

Formula

QuantityVariable["C", "ElectricCapacitance"]^(-1) == QuantityVariable[Subscript["C", "1"], "ElectricCapacitance"]^(-1) + QuantityVariable[Subscript["C", "2"], "ElectricCapacitance"]^(-1)
