Re: parallel capacitors

Yes!

Most electrolytics have notoriously high inductance (flash lamp ones, I
presume, are special), hence the high quality, low inductance, low
resistance, and low value cap. in parallel.

Hi,

Sometimes we use a big and small capacitors in parallel
for filtering purpose, for example in power supplies a 10uF and 0,1uF.
In theory, 10 and 10.1uF looks an insignificant difference.
Perhaps the small caps work better at high frequencies?

comments welcome
