Conversion using the Series Capacitor Formula
Series Calculation formula
If you need your Capacitor in parallel, you can read our parallel Capacitor calculator for that. When capacitors are connected in series, the formula for total capacitance is:
Alternatively, for two Capacitor:
For Example,If you have three capacitors connected in series with the following value: C1 = 10µF, C2 = 20µF, C3 = 30µF:

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs for Series Capacitors Calculator
Here, their total capacitance becomes shorter, but the voltage is split.
All capacitors in series have the same charge.
To cope with higher voltages or to reduce the total capacitance.
Yes, but their total capacitance will be less than the smallest of capacitors.
If it fails to open, then the whole series circuit stops working.
The formula is 1/Ctotal = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + ... + Cn
Yes, it supports up to 10 capacitors in series.
You can use microfarads (µF), nanofarads (nF), or picofarads (pF).
