Step 1
Step 1: The formula for the equivalent capacitance of capacitors in series is given by: $$\frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2}$$ where $C_1$ and $C_2$ are the capacitances of the individual capacitors. Show more…

You're given three capacitors: 1.0 µF, 2.0 µF, and 3.0 µF. Find the maximum, minimum, and two intermediate capacitances you could achieve using combinations of all three capacitors (ANS 0.56 µF, 0.83 µF, 1.3 µF, 1.5 µF, 2.2 µF, 2.75 µF, 3.67 µF, 6 µF).

You have a $1.4-\mu \mathrm{F}$ and a $2.6-\mu \mathrm{F}$ capacitor. What capacitances can you get by connecting them in series or in parallel?
