Suppose you have a simple circuit with a voltage source and a capacitor.
The voltage difference is _just_ high enough that the capacitor will arc and fail.
If you had an identical circuit but with 2 capacitors in parallel, (or any array of capacitors in parallel, could be 1,000,000) would this second circuit also fail?
Please do not answer if you are not positive in your answer. That is, I do not want to hear "the voltage across each is the same. so it will always fail." I'm aware of that. If that's the case, what exactly would happen with the array? Would each capacitor fail?
Thank you!
