Capacitances in parallel and in series
Storyboard 
In the case of parallel capacitances the potential difference applied is equal for all the capacited. As the potential differences are equal to the load divided by the capacitance, the charge of each capacitance is equal to the product of the potential difference by the capacitance . Being the total load equal to the sum of the loads in each capacitance, it is obtained that the total training is equal to the sum of the individual trainings.

Equations
C_p = C_1 + C_2
C_p = C_1 + C_2
\Delta\varphi = \Delta\varphi_1 + \Delta\varphi_3
Dphi = Dphi_1 + Dphi_2
\Delta\varphi_1 =\displaystyle\frac{ Q }{ C_p }
Dphi = Q / C
\Delta\varphi_1 =\displaystyle\frac{ Q_1 }{ C_1 }
Dphi = Q / C
\Delta\varphi_1 =\displaystyle\frac{ Q_2 }{ C_2 }
Dphi = Q / C
\Delta\varphi_3 =\displaystyle\frac{ Q }{ C_3 }
Dphi = Q / C
\Delta\varphi =\displaystyle\frac{ Q }{ C_s }
Dphi = Q / C
Q = Q_1 + Q_2
Q = Q_1 + Q_2
\displaystyle\frac{1}{ C_s }=\displaystyle\frac{1}{ C_p }+\displaystyle\frac{1}{ C_3 }
1/ C_s =1/ C_1 +1/ C_2
