Consider how to determine the effective capacitance when three different capacitors, labeled A, B, and C, are wired in series and when they are wired in parallel.

Lab 07 – Wiring Capacitors in Series and Parallel
In this assignment you will consider how to determine the effective capacitance when three different capacitors, labeled A, B, and C, are wired in series and when they are wired in parallel. Next you’ll be asked to predict the capacitance of a network of these capacitors that has both series and parallel elements in it. Finally, you’ll examine a “movie” showing what happens to the effective capacitance when these three capacitors are combined in different ways.
