A network of six identical capacitors, each of capacitance C is formed as shown below. The equivalent capacitance between the point A and B is

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D

Given network can be drawn as shown
it can be redrawn as:
on further reduction, circuit becomes

for upper and lower half
are in series, hence equivalent is

here (2/3)C & (2/3)C are in parallel. Hence

Final capacitance
