I am getting 3C/4. Please tell me if I am correct and if I am, I will post the solution.

well my answer is 6C/11

Ist 3 from left are in parallel =3c

so r 4th and 5th =2c

and the net are in series

so 1/cnet=1/3c+1/2c+1/c

3c/4 is correct.......umang the current won't flow through 4th and 5th capacitors ...............

ya dude you are correct
the other two capacitors are shorted out

current follows least resistance path..
higher the resistance lower the current...

but charge???
higher the capacitance higher will be the charge...

How can it be shorted....
no current here (i suppose) as capacitor offers infinite resistance to DC

I got 3C/4
there is shorting at one place.
So 3C and C are in series.

@newkid, we assume the connection is connected to an emf source.. for the capacitor to be charged we require current first dont we.

potential diff betn the series combination of cap 4 and 5 is 0. therefore acc to q=cv where v is 0 we get charge =0 so , the charge accumulatd on 4 and5 =o
