I mean, in a given design of circuits (a very, very complicated one) having capacitors, how can you tell by the position of the capacitors, by looking at the areas where the circuit wires connect/intersect, which capacitors are in parallel and which are in series? As in, a very complicated circuitry, where there are more than 7 or 8 capacitors, some joined in sereis and some in parallel, and joined in various unbelievably twisted ways??!! Please help!

How to Read the Capacitors This is simpe explanation on how to read the most types of capacitors. Before you read a capacitor, you should know about capacitor's capacitance value (farad, microfarad, nanofarad, picofarad). This image explanation is very easy to understand, just click the ...
Tantalum electrolytic capacitors A tantalum electrolytic capacitors are polarized electrolytic capacitors, which can only be operated with DC voltage. A tantalum electrolytic capacitor is recognized by small size, high dielectric stability, low losses and high durability. But at a higher price than aluminum ...

Well without looking at your specific schematic it is difficult to give you direct advice. However, examine the circuit. Start at your most complex zone and isolate each capacitor. For the sake of simplicity, ignore the other components. Draw a simple line diagram of each capacitor and, from the most deep/complex area, work outward to determine the component connection type.

you would need A schematic with out it you would be lost
