Question

The equivalent capacitance between A and B in the shown network of four 2 μF capacitors is:

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

One 2 μF capacitor is directly between A and B. The other three 2 μF capacitors form a series path, equivalent to 2/3 μF. These two branches are parallel, so Cₑq = 2 + 2/3 = 8/3 μF. Correct answer: C.
