Remember about Capacitors in Series

One important point to remember about series connected capacitor circuits, the total capacitance of any two or more capacitors connected together in series will always be lesser than the value of the smallest capacitor in the group. When adding together Capacitors in Series, the reciprocal of the individual capacitors are all added together (like resistors in parallel) instead of the capacitance’s themselves. Then the total value for capacitors in series equals the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances.
