The effective capacitance between points X and Y in the diagram below is 1.0μF, What is the value of the capacitance C, measured in micro-farad?

Solution
The two C's are in parallel, we treat as if is resistance in series, alright.
Now, C + C = 2C
1/Cₙ = 1/2C + 1/2
1/1 = (2C + 2)/4C
Cross multiply both sides
4C = 2C + 2
2C = 2
C = 1uF (Ans)

R=r1r2/r1+r2
replace R with effective resistance
r1and 2 are d resistance given
dis formula only works when TWO RESISTORS ARE CONNECTED IN PARALELL NOT IN SERIES
