I am a bit stumped by this capacitor configuration
It just doesnt look right, but maybe I am missing some purpose for doing this... I have two capacitors in parallel. C1=12000uF/25V (polyester film) C2=4.7uF/100V (Low ESR Electolytic). The power source is 12V DC (not sure if that matters or not in this case). Just looking at these two capacitors their uF and voltage numbers seem so far apart from each other I cant understand what the intent of putting them in parallel could be? I am wondering if there is some common reason that I am not aware of that these two seemingly diverse capacitors would be combined in parallel into a circuit?
Also,
Im not sure if I am using this formula correctly but here is what I calculated:
C(equivalent)=Q1/V + Q2/V
C(equivalent)=12000/25V + 4.7/100V
C(equivalent)=48000/100V + 4.7/100
C(equivalent)=48004.7/100V
However, is 100V even possible since one of the capacitors is only 25V .
Thanks in advance for any help...
