This is more than likely a stupid question but I would like to know the answer as sometimes the required components are not at hand quickly for design & trial purposes.
If I have a circuit that requires a 250v Capacitor is it possible to use three 100v capacitors in series or any combination that equals or exceeds the required voltage requirements to do the same job. Disregarding the Value of the capacitors for this question.
Certainly one capacitor of the correct voltage & value is the best way to go but if you just haven't got the components at hand quickly will this give satisfactory results for testing things.
Cheers
