Parts and what they mean

• C₁ in series (श्रेणी में C₁) — Carries the same charge Q as C₂; its share of voltage is V₁ = Q/C₁.
• C₂ in series (श्रेणी में C₂) — V₂ = Q/C₂. The smaller capacitor takes the larger voltage.
• Battery (series circuit) (बैटरी (श्रेणी परिपथ)) — Voltages add: V = Q/C₁ + Q/C₂, so 1/C = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂.
• C₁ in parallel (पार्श्व में C₁) — Same voltage V as C₂; charge Q₁ = C₁V.
• C₂ in parallel (पार्श्व में C₂) — Q₂ = C₂V. The bigger capacitor stores more charge.
• Battery (parallel circuit) (बैटरी (पार्श्व परिपथ)) — Total charge Q = Q₁ + Q₂ = (C₁ + C₂)V.
