The discussion revolves around identifying series and parallel connections in a circuit involving capacitors. The original poster seeks to find the equivalent capacitance between two points and expresses confusion regarding the replacement of capacitors in parallel and series configurations.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants providing insights into the definitions of nodes and the characteristics of series and parallel connections. Some guidance has been offered regarding visual aids for identifying connections, but multiple interpretations are still being explored.
Participants are navigating the complexities of circuit configurations, with some expressing difficulty in identifying connections in more complicated arrangements. There is an emphasis on the importance of understanding circuit topology and the role of nodes.
Wires will always be there in a circuit,then this means all the circuits short circuited.Of course not,what am I missing?gneill said:A wire is a equivalent to a zero valued resistance

Go back to the discussion of what a "short circuit" means. It means a bypass (either intentional or accidental) of a normal circuit path. Wires (paths) that are supposed to be there to interconnect components are just doing what they were meant to do.gracy said:Wires will always be there in a circuit,then won't this all the circuits are short circuited?Of course not,what am I missing?
