It is a general feature of series connections of capacitors that the total capacitance is less than any of the individual capacitances. Figure (PageIndex{1}): (a) Capacitors connected in series. The magnitude of the charge on each plate is (Q). (b) An equivalent capacitor has a larger plate separation (d).
A 1uF capacitor and a 10uF capacitor are other common ones seen in circuits. They do a good job of helping smooth out ripple noise in DC voltages. For super capacitors, a 1 Farad capacitor or even a 2 Farad capacitor is seen often on boards that need a little current even if the power goes out or the battery dies.
