Dingfeng Capacitor--Can you wire capacitors in series?

Q:Can you wire capacitors in series?

A:When capacitors are connected in series, the total capacitance is less than anyone of the series capacitors' individual capacitances. If two or more capacitors are connected in parallel, the overall effect is that of a single equivalent capacitor having the sum total of the plate areas of the individual capacitors.
