How it's calculated
Parallel: C = C₁ + C₂ + … Series: 1/C = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + … Plate: C = ε₀ × εr × A ÷ d
Capacitors combine the opposite way to resistors: in parallel they add, in series the total falls below the smallest. A parallel-plate capacitor holds more charge with bigger plates, a thinner gap and a dielectric with higher permittivity between them. ε₀ is the permittivity of free space, 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m.
