    - Capacitors are devices that can store electric charge. The amount of charge stored depends on the capacitance of the capacitor and the voltage applied. - Capacitors can be connected in series or parallel circuits. In series circuits, the total capacitance is calculated by adding the reciprocals of the individual capacitances. In parallel circuits, the total capacitance is calculated by adding the individual capacitances. - Examples show how to calculate the total capacitance, voltages, and charges in circuits with capacitors connected in series and parallel using the relevant formulas.
