Find the total capacitance in micro farads of the combinatio

Find the total capacitance in micro farads of the combination of capacitors shown in the figure below. mu F

Solution

Here,

as the capacitors 10 uF and 2.5 uF are in parallel

C1 = 10 + 2.5

C1 = 12.5 uF

Now , for C1 and 0.30 uF in series

1/Ceq = 1/12.5 + 1/.30

Ceq = 0.293 uF

the total capacitane of the system is 0.293 uF
