Please refer to the image below. The question asks: 'The effective capacitance between terminals A and B in the network shown in the adjoining figure is?'    Here is my working: (C5 and C6 connected in series.. in parallel to C2 and C4 connected in series).. connected in series with C1 and C3. Series(C5+C6) = 1 microFarad Series(C2+C4) = 1.5 microFarads Parallel (1+1.5) = 2.5 microFarads Series(C1+C3+2.5) = 15/26 microFarads (Answer)    The correct answer from the marking scheme is 8/3 microFarads. Could someone please explain how to get to this answer? I am really confused.    Thanks
I simply can't figure out what the capacity of this circuit is.  I can do the math myself, I just need a hint how to create an equivalent circuit where it is obvious what is parallel and what is in series...
How do I create an Excel (.XLS and .XLSX) file in C# without installing Microsoft Office? How can I create an Excel spreadsheet with C# without requiring Excel to be installed on the machine that's running the code? How to check for empty xml files when parsing through multiple xml files What exactly are the spikes, or peaks and valleys, caused by in pictures such as these    Wikipedia states that "From the point of view of magnetic energy, peaks and valleys are energetically favorable", but I'm not exactly sure what that means, or how it works. Why isn't the fluid just happy being attracted to the magnet in a semi-sphere shape? Could it be that it gains a magnetic charge, so it attempts to repel itself at the same time? Just pulling at straws here. I live &amp; work in the UK.  Having pretty much exhausted all of the avenues I can find for saving (none of which have great returns anyway at the moment, obviously), I have recently started looking to buy my first house.  I have a reasonable sum saved up for a deposit, but I'm wondering what to do with that in the mean time, as a fair amount of it is not currently earning any interest. For the moment, I have put any surplus, that I'm not earning interest on into premium bonds, just in the off-chance that I win something with it, but this is obviously more of a lottery than an investment, and I'm not 'expecting' to win anything noteworthy with it.  Ideally, I would like to buy a house within the next year or so, so investing in the stock market is not really an option, as I understand the commonly accepted advice is that you invest with a minimum 5 year horizon.  What other options do I have for any surplus cash while I look for a house? Why is posterior density proportional to prior density times likelihood function? According to Bayes' theorem, $P(y|\theta)P(\theta) = P(\theta|y)P(y)$. But according to my econometric text, it says that $P(\theta|y) \propto P(y|\theta)P(\theta)$. Why is it like this? I don't get why $P(y)$ is ignored. Can I use lens brand X on interchangeable lens camera brand Y? Using Windows 10 in a virtual machine. Can it be done? I am currently running 8.1. I'd like to try out Windows 10 and if I like it upgrade. If not, I'll keep running as I am.   I've never used a virtual machine before: can Window 10 be used from a virtual machine as a "sandbox", and if so how? How do I copyright my website? A pitcher contains $X + 1$ blue balls and $Y + 1$ red balls. It is known that $X, Y$ are independent random variables, and it is given that $X \sim \mathrm{Poisson}(n), Y \sim\mathrm{Poisson}(2n)$. Calculate the limit: $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to \infty}\mathbb P (X + n = Y) $   I tried to condition on the value of $Y$ and to use the Law of total probability but it did not lead to a solution. ( I tried to sum: $ \sum_{i=0}^\infty\mathbb P(X+n=Y|Y=i)\mathbb P(Y=i) $ and get an expression that I can calculate its limit as n goes to infinity) In Avengers: Infinity War, up until Thanos      gets all six Stones   in order to use the Gauntlet he needs to close his fist, as we see in the fight scene on Titan.     Doctor Strange: "Don't let him close his fist!"   So why later does snapping work? I can't seem to work out the inequality $(\sum |x_n|^q)^{1/q} \leq (\sum |x_n|^p)^{1/p}$ for $p \leq q$ (which I'm assuming is the way to go about it). Describing groups with given presentation? $\langle x,y\ |\ xy=yx,x^5=y^3\rangle$ and $\langle x,y\ |\ xy=yx,x^4=y^2\rangle$. I'm trying to describe the groups with presentations $\langle x,y\ |\ xy=yx,x^5=y^3\rangle$ and $\langle x,y\ |\ xy=yx,x^4=y^2\rangle$. I have some problems getting a good picture of what they look like...   For the first one, $xy=yx$ allows us to say that any element in the group can be written as $x^iy^j$ for some $i,j$. More precisely, using $x^5=y^3$, we can always reduce $j$ to $0,1$ or $2$, whereas $i$ could have any value. So I was thinking about $\mathbb{Z} \times C_3$. But the other way around (reducing $i$ this time) it's also $C_5 \times \mathbb{Z}$. But then I should be able to prove that both descriptions are equivalent, which I can't do...  For the second, I proceed similarly and get to the same kind of problem...  Could you tell me where I'm going wrong?  Thank you very much in advance! I tried the Chrome development version for a few days, didn't like it because my tabs became broken and wouldn't load properly. I changed back to the live version, but I forgot to uninstall the development version, which gave me 2 chrome icons on my task bar, but they would both load a broken version of Chrome. I then uninstalled Chrome through the control panel and reinstalled the live version, but I now have one of those broken links on my task bar (a blank page with a folded corner) that points to a version of Chrome that's no longer there. Is there a way to remove this icon? Is there a label/goto in Python? Is there a goto or any equivalent in Python to be able to jump to a specific line of code? Let $G$ be  a group and $H$ be a subgroup of $G$ of index $2$ .Then show that if $a,b\notin H$ then $ab\in H$.   $a,b\notin H\implies aH,bH\neq H\implies $ $aH=bH$  since $H$ has only two distinct left cosets in $G$.  $\implies a^{-1}b\in H$  How to show that $ab\in H$ from here? Multiplication of matrices &mdash; taking the dot product of the $i$th row of the first matrix and the $j$th column of the second to yield the $ij$th entry of the product &mdash; is not a very intuitive operation: if you were to ask someone how to mutliply two matrices, he probably would not think of that method. Of course, it turns out to be very useful: matrix multiplication is precisely the operation that represents composition of transformations. But it's not intuitive. So my question is where it came from. Who thought of multiplying matrices in that way, and why? (Was it perhaps multiplication of a matrix and a vector first? If so, who thought of multiplying them in that way, and why?) My question is intact no matter whether matrix multiplication was done this way only after it was used as representation of composition of transformations, or whether, on the contrary, matrix multiplication came first. (Again, I'm not asking about the utility of multiplying matrices as we do: this is clear to me. I'm asking a question about history.) What do I need to know about temperature and food safety? What equipment should I have to kill the Eye of Cthulhu? I just manually summoned the Eye of Cthulhu, going into battle with copper armour, tungsten broadsword, gold bow, jester arrows and plenty of lesser healing potions. I came rather close to death but I managed to stay alive. However, the Eye took off when I had his health down to ~1700. I'm assuming this means you only have a few minutes to finish it off after a certain point. Is there any equipment I'm missing to help kill the Eye faster and to help my survivability? If it's relevant, my current life is 120. Get mp3 duration in android Is there a constructive way to exhibit a basis for $\mathbb{R}^\mathbb{N}$?
