Find the total capacitance of the combination of capacitors shown in the figure below. (C1 = 28.6 µF, C2 = 5.42 µF. Enter your answer to three decimal places.)
![This diagram depicts a parallel capacitor circuit involving three capacitors.
- **Capacitors and Labels:**
- The capacitor on the left is labeled \(C_1\).
- The capacitor on the right is labeled \(C_2\).
- A third capacitor is placed directly below \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) and is labeled with a capacitance of \(0.300 \, \mu\text{F}\).
- **Configuration:**
- The capacitors \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) are connected parallel to each other.
- The \(0.300 \, \mu\text{F}\) capacitor is connected in series with the parallel combination of \(C_1\) and \(C_2\).
- **Circuit Path:**
- The circuit is arranged such that the electrical path first encounters the parallel combination of \(C_1\) and \(C_2\), followed by the series connection to the \(0.300 \, \mu\text{F}\) capacitor, creating a complete path for the flow of electrical current.
This configuration illustrates a common circuit setup used to study the effects of combining capacitors in series and parallel, helpful for understanding concepts such as total capacitance and charge distribution in circuits.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa40285d1-fda7-4887-8299-84d11ca408ec%2F35b0318f-8a5c-49fe-8a81-1a36bded759f%2Fnl2me7j_processed.gif&w=3840&q=75)
