Combination of Capacitors: Practice Problem & Solution

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Combination of Capacitors. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

In the Upper arm 6 μF and 3 μF capacitors are in series , so equivalent capacitance is 2μF. The 3μF capacitor ( circled one) can be removed as it is part of balanced wheat stone bridge.
