Problem

Between terminals A and D are three intermediate nodes B and C. Capacitors are arranged as follows: • between A and B:

C_1 = 2.0\,\mu\text{F}

• between B and C:

C_2 = 3.0\,\mu\text{F}

• between C and D:

C_3 = 6.0\,\mu\text{F}

A fourth capacitor

C_4 = 4.0\,\mu\text{F}

is connected directly between B and C, and a fifth capacitor

C_5 = 5.0\,\mu\text{F}

is connected directly between A and D. Calculate the equivalent capacitance between terminals A and D.
