The voltage across capacitors can be calculated using the formula V = Q/C, where V is the voltage, Q is the charge stored on the capacitor, and C is the capacitance. Alternatively, it can also be calculated by multiplying the current (I) flowing through the capacitor by the capacitance (C), giving the formula V = I x C.
The voltage across capacitors is affected by the capacitance, the amount of charge stored on the capacitor, and the type of dielectric material used between the plates. It is also affected by the frequency and amplitude of the alternating current passing through the capacitor.
In a series circuit, the voltage across capacitors is divided between the capacitors according to their respective capacitances. The total voltage across all capacitors in a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltages.
In a parallel circuit, the voltage across capacitors is the same for all the capacitors. This is because they are connected in parallel, allowing them to have the same potential difference or voltage across them. However, the total capacitance in a parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the individual capacitances.
