In the schematic of the electrical circuit shown in figure "A" of the illustration, what is the value of the total capacitance, when compared to the value of equal individual capacitors? EL-0039

Correct Answer: Option A — one half

Connecting capacitors in series reduces total capacitance, with identical capacitors resulting in a total value equal to one half of an individual capacitor. This inverse relationship governs capacitive network design and troubleshooting under marine electrical engineering standards.
