Okay now the title may sound a bit strange so to make it more straight forward which is better putting two capacitors in series or in parallel
Now my problem is an old monitor of mine gave up a couple of days ago and as expected the power circuitry's capacitors were faulty (I don't blame them for blowing after 11 years of service) and from the blown up capacitors are a couple of 680uF 25V which aren't available at my local electronics shop
I determined that to have a simulated 680uF I would either need to put a 2200uF and 1000uF capacitors in series or I can put a 470uF and 220uF capacitors in parallel which according to the math should produce 687.5uF and 690uF respectively which I think is still within the accuracy of the original capacitor
Now how does they behave when in either configuration in terms of the voltage aspect ?
Thanks a lot
