Summary: capacitors don't like waiting in line
Review: On page 15 the figure 1.9 shows four capacitors in series, the conclusion drawn is that the four capacitors add their individual values to equal their combined sum. I'm not a rocket scientist but I believe this is incorrect. The only way to add their values is to have them in parrallel, this is completely reversed from how resistors work. I hope this can help you, the rest of the book is very well written and informative.
