[[Capacitor]]s follow the same law using the reciprocals. The total [[capacitance]] of capacitors in series is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the [[Multiplicative inverse|reciprocals]] of their individual capacitances:

<math display="block">C = \left(\sum_{i=1}^n{1\over C_i}\right)^{-1} = \left({1\over C_1} + {1\over C_2} + {1\over C_3} + \dots + {1\over C_n}\right)^{-1}.</math>

Equivalently using [[elastance]] (the reciprocal of capacitance), the total series elastance equals the sum of each capacitor's elastance.
