Hello Kreso

The seried capacitance is 0.909 nf. Charging at 10 kv will
cause the 1 nf cap to see 9090 v and the 10 nf cap to see
909 v. Both caps will see the same current. I suppose it
would work if both caps could handle the current. Need to
know something about the charging current.

Can we series caps that are diffrent in working voltage and capitance?
Example if we have a 1 nf 10 kV cap and a 10 nF 1 kV cap? If i series them
il get 11 kV capacitor? What will happen with capitance, will this work?
