The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
== Capacitor in Series or Parallel ==When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is the sum of both capacitors.  When you connect two or more capacitors together in Parallel you achieve the sum of the total plate area of each capacitor, so think of it as one big capacitor.When capacitors are connected in series, the total capacitance is half the sum of both capacitors, therefore you reduce capacitance when you connect them in series.  However, you do get twice the voltage rating, therefore two 16v 200μF rated capacitors now act as a single 32v rated capacitor with 100μF capacitance.
