As you proceed with this assigrurrent, you will be working with a short video clip entitled <C+aciiors.mo\> in which thrce different capacitors (A, B aad C) are wired in various series, parallel and network configurations. The effective capacitance of each of the wiring configurations is measured wifraCapacitance Meter. Ilint: When viewing a video n QuickTintc, the right and left arow keys on your oomput€r keyboard allow you to advance one frame at a time.

table below. Figure out whether Eq. 3 or Eq. 4 (or neither or both) can be used to calculate the equivalent capacitance for a series configuration. Show your calculations for each combination to three significant figures and explain your reasoning. Yourpredicted theoretical value should agree within 27o of tke measured value shown in the table below-
