REFRIGERATION HVAC MECHANIC RED SEAL LICENSE EXAM REVIEWER - capacitance of parallel capacitors
PROBLEM:
Two capacitors having 50 uF and 150 uF respectively are wired in parallel. What is the value of the total capacitance?
Given
capacitance1 = 50 uF
capacitance2 = 150 uF
Unknown
Total capacitance of circuit
SOLUTION:
Parallel Capacitors: additive
Total Capacitance, Ct = C1 + C2
Ct = 50 + 150
Ct = 200 uF
Note:
If these same two capacitors were wired in series, the total capacitance would be 37.5 uF, reduced to almost 20%.
