Combinations of Capacitors
In practice, two or more capacitors are sometimes joined together. The circuit diagrams below illustrate two basic combinations:
parallel capacitors and series capacitors.
The equivalent capacitance is the capacitance of the single capacitor that can replace a set of connected capacitors without changing the operation of the circuit

Current (definition)
IfQisthetotalamountofchargethathasmovedpastapointinawire,wedefinethecurrentIinthewiretobetherateofchargeflow:
The SI unit for current is the coulomb per second, which is called the ampere.
1 ampere = 1 A = 1 C/s.
current is the rate at which charge flows
