Answer 1

Your question is incomplete .
A complete question is --------> Find the equivalent capacitance between points a and b in the combination of capacitors shown in the figure below. (C1 = 2.0 ?F and C2 = 3.0 ?F.)

Solution :- first of all resolve this figure .
A rough daigram as shown in figure .
Here you can see that , C₂ and 5μF are in series
so, equivalent capacitance of these , C' = 3 × 5/(3 + 5) = 15/8 = 1.875μF
Now, C₁ , C' and 6μF are in parallel
So, equivalent capacitance , Ceq = C₁ + C' + 6μF
= 2μF + 1.875μF + 6μF
= 9.875 μF

Hence, answer is 9.875 μF
