Technical Background The parasitic parameters of a capacitor, that is its equivalent series resistance (ESR) and its inductance, affect the way the capacitor performs in circuits. Some applications are very sensitive to these parameters. For instance, a bypass capacitor used between power and ground in a digital circuit must be able to …
Capacitance measurement: Understand and use the right technique to dramatically improve results
A capacitor measured with a $100 handheld multi-meter can give a substantially different result than the same capacitor measured with a $10,000 LCR meter. That same capacitor measured with two different handheld multi-meters may also give results that vary several percent depending on the dielectric material of the capacitor and …

Multiple capacitors placed in series and/or parallel do not behave in the same manner as resistors. Placing capacitors in parallel increases overall plate area, and thus increases capacitance, as indicated by Equation ref{8.4}. Therefore capacitors in parallel add in value, behaving like resistors in series.
