| May 31, 2014 at 1:53 | comment | added | garyp | Good observation and excellent question. For the series combo, how about the effective capacitor plate separation? | |
| May 31, 2014 at 1:11 | comment | added | user47611 | For parallel capacitors we are essentially combining the areas of all the capacitor plates when they are connected with conducting wire, and capacitance of parallel plates is proportional to area. But I don't know for series. Wouldn't a series combination increase the area as well? | |
