# Measuring Capacitance in series combination

# Objective

Measuring the capacitance of series combination of capacitors.

# Procedure for two capacitors

- Connect the capacitors as shown in the figure.
- Click on “Capacitance on IN1” . Should not touch the circuit while measuring

# Discussion

For a series combination of capacitors, the effective capacitance is given by the relation (1)/(C)=(1)/(C1)+(1)/(C2)+ ⋯.
