I was reading this article here: http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_1/chpt_13/4.html, and I cannot find an answer to the following question: Why doesn't polarity matter when calculating the equivalent capacitance?
Yes, I got that, but why is this so? I know the facts, but I want an explanation of the facts.Capacitance, or at any rate ideal capacitance is not a polarity-sensitive property. The capacitance of the individual capacitors dopes not change with polarity, nor does that of the equivalent capacitance that they make up.
