Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. The two 5 μF5\ \mu\text{F} and the top 2 μF2\ \mu\text{F} all join the node after 6 μF6\ \mu\text{F} to the same lower node: 5+5+2=12 μF5 + 5 + 2 = 12\ \mu\text{F}.
  2. From that lower node to B: 4∥2=6 μF4 \parallel 2 = 6\ \mu\text{F}.
  3. 1212 in series with 66: 4 μF4\ \mu\text{F}; in series with 66: 6×410=2.4 μF\frac{6\times 4}{10} = 2.4\ \mu\text{F}.
  4. So the answer is (a) 2.4 μF2.4\ \mu\text{F}.
