4.0\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor and a

12.0\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor are connected in series. That series combination is then connected in parallel with a

3.0\,\mu\text{F}

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

1.5\,\mu\text{F}

(b)

9.0\,\mu\text{F}

(c)

6.0\,\mu\text{F}

(d)

3.0\,\mu\text{F}
