Basically I am asked to find the equivalent capacitor.
Homework Equations
C = q/v
Conservation of energy.
The Attempt at a Solution
I have read a lot about this topic and how if they were for example resistor and R4 * R3 = R1 * R5, the bridge doesn't go through it a current and I derived that. But I couldn't do the same with capacitors, however I found that this also happens with capacitors. In the question, The equation above applies ( replace R with C)
So here is my question, Is there is a simple high school derivation for this? and what if the wheatstone wasnt balanced how would I calculate it?
