[ five 2 µF capacitors in series
3 parallel rows; each consisting of five 2.0 µF capacitors in series]
Sol. C eq = 0.4 µF, we connect five 2µF capacitors in series
⇒ C eq = 
= 
= 0.4 µF
C eq = 1.2 µF, Capable of with standing 1000 volts
3 parallel rows, each consisting of five 2.0 µF capacitors in series.
