Question

What is the equivalent capacitance between A and B for the shown network of identical capacitors C?

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Reduce the network successively using series and parallel combinations. The bridge is symmetric about the central vertical branch; after reduction the equivalent becomes 8C/5 = 1.6C. Correct answer: B.
