The equivalent capacitance of the network shown in the figure will be:

(All capacitances are in μF range)

The equivalent capacitance represents the combination of all capacitance values in a given circuit and can be found by summing all individual capacitances in the circuit based on the relationships between these capacitors. In particular, we can have capacitors in parallel or in series.

Let;

C₁,C₂......C_n capacitors are connected in;

 

Simplify dotted section:

 

 

(10× 10)/(10+10) = 5 μF

 

{(5+5) = 10 μF

 

(10 × 10)/(10+10) = 5 μF

 

(10 + 5) = 15 μF

 

 

C_eq = 10 + 6 = 16 μF
