Capacitors may be connected in series to provide a capacitance with an effective
working voltage higher than that of any of the individual units, (but the effective
capacitance is less than that of any individual.)
Capacitors may be connected in parallel to provide an effective capacitance value
greater than that of any of the individual units, (but working voltage is equal to
the lowest among the individuals).

Uses of gang capacitor?
Gang capacitors are commonly used in radio tuners/receivers. Radio tuners/receivers have formation of LC(inductance and capacitor). Here this circuit has one fixed inductance and capacitor parallel with gang capacitor. Normally gang capacitor used in superhetrodyne receiver.
What are the advantages of series circuit?
The advantage of series is it uses less current than parallel
What is a split phase motor with relay and capacitor called?
A capacitor start motor is a split phase motor that uses a capacitor in series with the start winding to cause a greater phase shift, resulting in greater starting torque. It uses a centrifugal switch to switch out the start winding and capacitor once the motor is up to speed. I assume this switch is what you're referring to as a "relay".
What products use the capacitor?
The products that uses the capacitor are filters and oscillators.
What is the advantage of using 2 or more capacitors in parallel in circuits instead of one larger capacitor?
When capacitors are connected in parallel, you add up their capacitances to obtain the overall capacitance of that 'bank'. The main reason for using two capacitors in parallel when decoupling, is that they have a lower overall inductance (electrical resistance in essence) to one large capacitor, which improves the decoupling effect. Using two capacitors also provides better high-frequency filtering for the power bus. One minor advantage of this, is that, you can obtain a certain redundancy when using two smaller capacitors in parallel, instead of only one, as if one capacitor fails, the other still acts to decouple the circuit, to a certain extent.
