🔍 Key Concepts

• Series vs parallel capacitors – how to tell from the drawing which arrangement you have • For capacitors in series, the reciprocal values add: 1/C_total = 1/C1 + 1/C2 • Unit consistency for capacitance (all in microfarads before you calculate)

💭 Think About

• From the figure, trace the path of current from the source through C1 and C2. Do they lie one after another in a single loop, or do they each connect across the same two nodes? • Once you decide it is series or parallel, write the correct total-capacitance formula and plug in 100 μF and 50 μF, showing each step. • After finding the numerical value, compare it with the largest and smallest individual capacitor values—should C_total be larger than both, smaller than both, or in between?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm from the diagram whether C1 and C2 share the same two connection points (parallel) or are in a single chain (series). • Use the proper series formula: 1/C_total = 1/C1 + 1/C2 if you determine they are in series. • Make sure your final answer is in microfarads and makes sense: for series, C_total must be less than the smallest individual capacitor.
