Capacitors in series

The total dielectric-storage of a circuit of this type will be less than any individual dielectric-storage.

Calculations

1 Ctotal = 1 C1 + 1 C2 + 1 C3 + 1 C4

Voltages & amperes

The smaller the dielectric field, the more dielectricity it can store, it has a counter-spacial nature. What we’re doing here is essentially creating more space, you can think of these capacitors as one capacitor with four times more space between its plates. So, more space, less dielectric storage.
