• 25-4 Capacitors in Parallel and Series

• When a potential difference V is applied across several capacitors connected in parallel, that potential difference V is applied across each capacitor.
• The total charge q stored on the capacitors is the sum of the charges stored on all the capacitors.
• Capacitors connected in parallel can be replaced with an equivalent capacitor that has the same total charge q and the same potential difference V as the actual capacitors.

• PARALLEL:
• V is same for all capacitors
• Total charge = sum of Q
