Problem

Five capacitors are connected between points X and Z in the following way: • Between X and Y there are two branches. Branch 1 consists of a

2.0\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor in series with a

4.0\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor. Branch 2 consists of a single

6.0\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor. • The point Y is connected to point Z through a

3.0\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor. • A

5.0\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor is connected directly between X and Z. Determine the equivalent capacitance between X and Z. a)
