    if we connect to or more capacitors in parallel then what changes in its current carrying capacity?? like increase or decrease?? and why??

    Capacitor stores voltage only. And in case of capacitor when you connect in parallel its value increases.
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

    what about the current carrying capacity???

    i think capacitors are storage devices......

    i=c dv/dt ....in parallel combination capacitance increases so c increases hence the current increases.

    Capacitors store charge. Paralleling just arithmetically adds up total capacity.

    Very knowledgeable discussion.In parallel current increases in capacitors.

    current increase or current carrying capacity increase????

    Neither. A capacitor stores electric charge. Coulombs. One coulomb = one ampere second. That is the amount of electric charge transferred when one ampere passes for one second.
    Similar to an overhead water tank. The water is just held in the tank. When a pipe connected to the tank is opened water flows, which is analogous to current in a wire. If you have two water tanks of 100 litres capacity connected in parallel you get a total capacity of two hundred litres.

    capacity of the capacitor will not change. neither current carrying nor voltage storing. joining two capacitors in parallel simply passes less current through each capacitor than one capacitor across the same supply
