Question
Please show me how to approach this problems with clear step be step work to solve the following. Determine Ceq in farads at the a,b terminals
The image depicts a circuit diagram with capacitors arranged in a mixed configuration between points \( a \) and \( b \). 

In this diagram:

- There are three capacitors connected between the points \( a \) and \( b \).

- The capacitor values are:
  - A 6F capacitor is in series with a pair of parallel capacitors.
  - The parallel capacitors have values of 5F and 3F respectively.
  - Another 5F capacitor is in series with the entire combination.

The equation for the equivalent capacitance \( C_{eq} \) for this circuit can be calculated by first finding the equivalent capacitance of the parallel capacitors, and then combining it with the series capacitors.

For the parallel capacitors:
\[ C_{parallel} = 5F + 3F = 8F \]

The equivalent capacitance of the series arrangement is given by:
\[ \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{6F} + \frac{1}{8F} + \frac{1}{5F} \]

The box labeled \( C_{eq} \) on the bottom left is intended for calculating the equivalent capacitance of the circuit.
