Question
Find the equivalent capacitance of the figure given
below
The image displays a circuit diagram illustrating the arrangement of several capacitors. Here is a detailed description: ### Circuit Components: - **Capacitors**: The diagram includes multiple capacitors with the following capacitance values: - One capacitor of 3 µF - One capacitor of 2 µF - One capacitor of 4 µF - Another capacitor of 2 µF - A third capacitor of 3 µF - One capacitor of 12 µF ### Configuration: - The circuit starts with two branches in parallel: - The upper path has a series connection of capacitors with 3 µF and 2 µF. - Parallel to this, on the lower path, there is a single 12 µF capacitor. - Moving to the next section, three capacitors form a more complex parallel-series combination: - A 4 µF and a 2 µF capacitor are connected in series, which is parallel with the 3 µF capacitor. ### Labeling: - The diagram indicates the equivalent capacitance of the circuit with the label \( C_{\text{eq}} \) pointing towards the output terminals on the left side of the circuit. This arrangement involves both series and parallel combinations of capacitors, which require specific electrical principles to calculate the equivalent capacitance, \( C_{\text{eq}} \). Understanding these principles is essential for analyzing and interpreting complex capacitive networks in electric circuits.
