Capacitors Physics A-Level
The effect of adding capacitors in series is to reduce the capacitance. When an additional capacitor is added, there is less p.d. across each one so less charge is stored. The diagram shows the charge on the plates of three capacitors connected in series. Image.

This quick paper from Vishay suggests that is is due to the actual dielectric constant of the ceramic capacitor significantly changing under applied electrical field strength variations (read: voltage).. To be fair, that particular note is probably intended to drive folks to purchase Vishay''s tantalum parts, but there are other papers on the subject …
Introduction to Capacitors, Capacitance and Charge
Why do we need to test the insulations of capacitor at say 25KV/mm when the capacitor supply voltage is 230 V AC or 110V DC . What is relevant is these are rated at 2.5, 4 MFD etc or in Power Capacitors its 5KVAR, 10 KVAR, 25 KVAR etc. Posted on August 30th 2023 | 9:18 am. Reply.

What Influences Electrolytic Capacitor Lifespan?
That''s the figure for a capacitor of exactly 1000 μF, but we''ve seen it could be as high as 0.199 Ω for a capacitor sitting at the low end of the initial tolerance range (i.e., 800 μF). At its end-of-life, we''ve seen that the capacitance might only be 480 μF, and so it follows that the ESR could rise to 0.332 Ω.
