When capacitors are connected in series across DC voltage:

  • The charge of each capacitor is the same and the same current flows through each capacitor in the given time.
  • The voltage across each capacitor is dependent on the capacitor value.


When capacitors are connected in parallel across DC voltage:

  • The charge of each capacitor is different and the current flows through each capacitor in the given time are also different and depend on the value of the capacitor.
  • The voltage across each capacitor is the same.
