$(C_1^{-1} + C_2^{-1} + C_3^{-1})^{-1}$

(C) When capacitors are connected in series,the reciprocal of the equivalent capacitance $(C_{eq})$ is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances.The formula is given by: $\frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_3}$.By taking the reciprocal of both sides,we get: $C_{eq} = (C_1^{-1} + C_2^{-1} + C_3^{-1})^{-1}$.
