Caps In Series
#8

Arran

The physics is simple: two caps of equal capacitance in series will get charge to exact half the charge each hence the voltage being Q/C, it will therefore be 1/2 voltage across each.
Obviously for exact voltage rating doubling you need exact same two caps.

The half charge is explained by the fact that the same current goes through both caps and so both charge equally.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
