Capacitance of C1 = C4 = 100pF
Capacitance of C2 = C3 = 400pF
Supply voltage, V = 400 V


Capacitors C2 and C3 are connected in series
Equivalent capacitance
C'=1400+1400=2400
or C' = 200pF
Capacitors C1C' are in parallel
Their equivalent capacitance
C'' = C' + C1 = 200 + 100 = 300pF
Capacitors C'' and C4 are connected in series
Equivalent capacitance 1Ceq=1C''+1C4=1300+1100
1Ceq=4300
Ceq=3004pF
