Let us suppose capacitors of capacitance C1 and C2 are connected in parallel and voltage ‘V’ is applied across it.
The net charge flowing through voltage ‘V’ is q.
Therefore,
qn = q1 + q2
As, q = CV
CeqV = C1V + C2V
Ceq = C1 + C2
The equivalence capacitance for ‘n’ number of capacitors connected in parallel is,
Ceq = C1 + C2 + ……… + Cn.
