The equivalent capacitance of the combination is
where C1 and C2 are the capacitance of both capacitors in series.
<h3>What is equivalent capacitor?</h3>
Let the capacitance of both capacitors be C1 and C2. For a series connected capacitors, same charge flows through the capacitors but different voltage flows through them.
Let Q be the amount of charge in each capacitors,
V be the voltage across each capacitors
C be the capacitance of the capacitor.
Using the formula Q = CV where V = Q/C... (1)
For the large capacitor with capacitance of the capacitor C1,


where
is the voltage across 
For the small capacitor with capacitance of the capacitor
,
;

where
is the voltage across
,
Total voltage V in the circuit will be;

Substituting equation 1, 2 and 3 in equation 4, we have;


Since change Q is the same for both capacitors since they are in series, they will cancel out to finally have;

This gives the equivalent capacitance of the combination.
