Find the equivalent capacitance between points A and B for t

Find the equivalent capacitance between points A and B for the group of capacitors shown in the figure (Figure 1) . Suppose C1 = 14 ?F , C2 = 9.1 ?F , and C3 = 26 ?F . Answer is in ?F.

Solution

C₂ and C₃ are in series ,so

1/C₂₃ = 1/C₂ + 1/C₃ = 1/9.1 + 1/26

C₂₃=6.74 uF

C1 and C23 are in parallel ,so equivalent capacitance is

C_AB=C₁+C₂₃ = 6.74+14

C_AB =20.74 uF
