(i haven't checked your figures)
yes, of course …
you can't buy 0.16 of a capacitor, can you?
The total capacitance when capacitors are connected in parallel is equal to the sum of the individual capacitances. Therefore, to find the total capacitance, you would need to add up the capacitance values of each capacitor.
To calculate the voltage when capacitors are connected in parallel, you can use the formula V = Q/C, where V is the voltage, Q is the charge, and C is the capacitance. Since we know the charge and the total capacitance, we can rearrange the formula to solve for voltage.
Yes, the capacitors can be of different sizes when connected in parallel. The total capacitance will still be the sum of the individual capacitances. However, the voltage across each capacitor may be different, depending on their individual capacitance values.
The charge remains the same when capacitors are connected in parallel. The total charge is distributed among the capacitors, but the overall amount of charge remains constant.
Capacitors are connected in parallel to store a larger amount of charge. When connected in parallel, the total capacitance increases, which allows for a larger amount of charge to be stored. This can be useful in various electronic circuits and devices.
