How it works

Capacitive Reactance of 10uF capacitor

Capacitive Reactance of 22uF capacitor

Total capacitive reactance of series circuit – Note that reactance’s in series are added together just like resistors in series.

or:

Circuit current

Then the voltage drop across each capacitor in series capacitive voltage divider will be:

What's inside

  • 1× Power Source
  • 2× Capacitor
  • Measured with Multimeter
