If I wired two .047 disc caps in series, would I get .094, at least in theory? I want to try a .1 cap on my P bass, and I have some .047 but no .1 cap.
I figured you missed that To the OP: it seems a little weird at first, but capacitors combine the opposite way of resistors. Once you understand the construction/physics behind capacitors it makes sense, but just know that to "add" capacitors you connect them in parallel.
The formula for series capacitance is C[SUB]Total[/SUB]= 1/[(1/C[SUB]1[/SUB])+(1/C[SUB]2[/SUB])]. Parallel capacitance is simply C[SUB]Total[/SUB]=C[SUB]1[/SUB]+C[SUB]2[/SUB].
