Problem

A circuit contains a

2.0\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor and a

4.0\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor connected in series. This series combination is then connected in parallel with an

8.0\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor. What is the overall equivalent capacitance of the entire network? (a)

3.4\,\mu\text{F}

(b)

9.3\,\mu\text{F}

(c)

1.1\,\mu\text{F}

(d)

8.8\,\mu\text{F}
