Combination of Capacitors

Figure shows a network of five capacitors connected to a supply voltage 'V'. The equivalent capacitance and the energy stored in the network is respectively

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

Name the nodes: left/bottom-left $L$ , top $T$ , bottom-right $R$ (battery across $L$ and $R$ ).
Between $T$ and $L$ : $3C$ and $3C$ in parallel $= 6C$ . Between $T$ and $R$ : $1C$ and $2C$ in parallel $= 3C$ .
$6C$ and $3C$ in series: $\frac{6C\cdot3C}{9C} = 2C$ ; this is in parallel with the bottom $2C$ across $L$ – $R$ .
$C_{eq} = 2C + 2C = 4C$ ; $U = \frac{1}{2}(4C)V^2 = 2CV^2$ .
So the answer is (a) $4C, 2CV^2$ .
