An open circuit consists of four capacitors. It begins at point a and goes right before the wire splits into two parallel horizontal branches. On the upper branch, there is a capacitor C followed by a 3.00 µF capacitor. On the lower branch, there is a 6.00 µFcapacitor. The two branches reconnect and are followed by a 20.0 µF capacitor, which is then followed by point b.
(a) Find the equivalent capacitance between points a and b.
