AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the net capacitance when two of the three identical capacitors are connected in both parallel and series configurations. We know that the net capacitance of three identical capacitors connected in parallel is 12 microfarads (μF). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Capacitance of One Capacitor:** - Given that the net capacitance of three identical capacitors in parallel is 12 μF, we can express this as: \[ C_{\text{eq}} = C_1 + C_2 + C_3 = 3C ...
