Homework Statement


Find equivalent capacitance between terminals

Homework Equations


C_eq = C_1 + C_2 for parallel
C_eq = 1/((1/C_1) + (1/C_2))

The Attempt at a Solution


I can't tell what's in parallel and what's in series. That conductor in the center is throwing me off.

Any help por favor?

Then pluck it out! :mad:

Hint: Draw it as a figure-of-eight …

does that have the same potentials? :wink:
