Determine the equivalent capacitance between A and B for the group of capacitors in the drawing. Let C 1 = 14 µF and C 2 = 5.0 µF.

 A capacitor which acquires a charge of 1 coulomb on each plate with the application of one volt is defined to have a capacitance of 1 FARAD  One Farad is one Coulomb/Volt

 The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor depends only on the Area and separation between the plates.  C is dependent only on the geometry of the device!
