### Educational Resource: Capacitor Circuits---#### Analysis of a Capacitor Circuit**Problem:**Shown in the circuit below is a battery providing 12 V voltage to a circuit of capacitors.1. **Find the equivalent capacitance of the combination of capacitors in the circuit.**2. **What charge flows through the battery as the capacitors are being charged?****Circuit Diagram:**- The circuit contains a battery with a voltage of 12 V.- There are three capacitors in the circuit: - Capacitor 1: 3.0 µF - Capacitor 2: 5.0 µF - Capacitor 3: 1.0 µFThe capacitors are arranged as follows based on the provided circuit:- Capacitor 1 (3.0 µF) is in series with a parallel combination of Capacitor 2 (5.0 µF) and Capacitor 3 (1.0 µF).**Steps to Solve:**1. **Find the equivalent capacitance of the parallel capacitors (5.0 µF and 1.0 µF):** In parallel, capacitances add up directly: \[ C_{\text{parallel}} = C_2 + C_3 = 5.0 \, \mu\text{F} + 1.0 \, \mu\text{F} = 6.0 \, \mu\text{F} \]2. **Determine the overall equivalent capacitance of the series combination:** The capacitors are now a series combination of 3.0 µF and 6.0 µF. The formula for capacitors in series is: \[ \frac{1}{C_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_{\text{parallel}}} \] Substituting the values: \[ \frac{1}{C_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{3.0 \, \mu\text{F}} + \frac{1}{6.0 \, \mu\text{F}} \] Simplifying: \[ \frac{1}{C_{\text{total}}} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6
