Procedure for two capacitors
----------------------------

-  Connect the capacitors as shown in the figure.
-  Click on “Capacitance on IN1” . Should not touch the circuit while measuring


Discussion
----------

For parallel combination, the effective capacitance is given by
:math:`C = C_1 + C_2 + ⋯`.
