As we learnt in

Series Grouping -

\frac{1}{C_{eq}}=\frac{1}{C_{1}}+\frac{1}{C_{2}}+\cdots

- wherein

 

 

Parallel Grouping -

C_{eq}=C_{1}+C_{2}+\cdots

- wherein

 

 a: \frac{1}{C_{a}}= \frac{1}{4}+ \frac{1}{4}+ \frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\Rightarrow {C_{a}} = \frac{4}{3}\mu\, f

b: {C_{b}}=4+4+4= 12 \mu\, f

c: {C_{c}}=\frac{(4+4)\times 4}{{(4+4)+ 4}}\, = \frac{8}{3}\, \mu\, f

d: {C_{d}}=\frac{(4\times 4)}{{(4+4)}}+4\, = 6\, \mu\, f
