When 'n' capacitors are connected in series, the value of Ceq is given by:
\({1\over C_{eq}}={1\over C_1}+{1\over C_2}.........{1\over C_n}\)
When 'n' capacitors are connected in parallel, the value of Ceq is given by:
\(C_{eq}=C_1+C_2........C_n\)
Calculation
In the given circuit, 1F and 1F are in parallel.
C1 = 1+1 = 2F
C1 is in series with 6F.
\({1\over C_2}={1\over 2}+{1\over 6}\)
C2 = 1.5F
1F and 2F are in parallel.
C3 = 1+2 = 3F
C2 and C3 are in series.
\({1\over C_{eq}}={1\over 3}+{1\over 1.5}\)
Ceq = 1F
