Step 1
Since the illustration is not provided, let's assume a common configuration where two capacitors are in series with each other and these two sets are then connected in parallel. This is a typical setup when dealing with four identical capacitors. Show more…

Five identical capacitors, each with capacitance $C$ are connected as shown in the figure. Then the equivalent capacitance between $A$ and $B$ is (a) $\bar{C}$ (b) $5 C$ (c) $C / 5$ (d) $3 C$
Find the equivalent capacitance of the system across the terminals $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$. All the capacitors have equal capacitances. (A) $2 \mathrm{C}$ (B) $4 \mathrm{C}$ (C) $3 \mathrm{C}$ (D) $5 \mathrm{C}$
What is the equivalent capacitance between terminals a and b if each capacitor shown in the figure has capacitance C? 5C/3 none of these 5C/2 3C/5 4C C/4 3C/2
