**Text Explanation:**

Consider the following. (Let \(C_1 = 34.00 \,\mu\text{F}\) and \(C_2 = 28.00 \,\mu\text{F}\).)

**Diagram Analysis:**

The diagram represents a circuit consisting of capacitors and a battery:

1. **Capacitors:**
   - There are three capacitors in the circuit.
   - The first capacitor, \(C_2\), is labeled as \(6.00 \,\mu\text{F}\) and is in the center.
   - The two side capacitors are labeled \(C_1\).

2. **Circuit Configuration:**
   - The capacitor \(C_2\) is arranged in parallel with the two \(C_1\) capacitors.
   - The \(C_1\) capacitors appear to be arranged in a parallel combination as well with \(C_2\).

3. **Battery:**
   - A \(9.00 \,\text{V}\) battery is connected to the circuit.
   - The positive and negative terminals of the battery are indicated by the symbols \((+)\) and \((-)\).

In this setup, the potential difference provided by the battery is \(9.00 \,\text{V}\), which affects the charge and voltage across each capacitor. The given values of \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) can be used to calculate the equivalent capacitance of the circuit using series and parallel capacitance formulas.
