![**Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure below. (Let C = 12.0 μF.)**
[Diagram of Capacitors]
- Three capacitors are arranged in series and parallel configuration.
- From point \( a \) to \( b \), the configuration is as follows:
- \( C \) (12.0 μF) is in parallel with both a 3.00 μF and a 20.0 μF capacitor in series.
- A 6.00 μF capacitor is also part of the circuit in series with the 3.00 μF and 20.0 μF capacitors.
