Understand the Topic
Combinating capacitors is very common in many circuits, when we want to reach a capacitance level which only one capacitor is not enough.
Capacitors in Series
In an association of series capacitors, the equivalent capacitor is equal to the inverse of the sum of all the inverted capacitors which make up the association:
1 / Ceq = (1 / C1) + (1 / C2) + (1 / C3) + ... + (1 / Cn)Capacitors in Parallel
In an association of parallel capacitors, the equivalent capacitor is equal to the sum of all capacitors that make up the association:
Ceq = C1 + C2 + C3 + ... + CnDevelopment
All the tasks needed for development automation are defined in the
package.json scripts property and can be run via:
npm run <command>
Here is a summary of all the commands:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
compile | Runs the Livescript compiler on the source. |
test | Runs Mocha in BDD mode. |
build | Runs both compile and test commands. |

Motivation
I was studying capacitors association because of my Constant Current discipline and then decided to put the basics into practice.
