True or False 1. The equivalent capacitors stores the same amount of charges but NOT THE SAME amount of energy when connected in PARALLEL. 2. A small time constant means that the capacitor charges and discharges VERY SLOWLY.  3. A good voltmeter is designed with a VERY LARGE resistance for it not to alter the voltage in the circuit when connected.
