(A) When capacitors are connected in series,the effective capacitance $C_{eq}$ is given by the formula:$\frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2}$Given that $C_1 = 2 \mu F$ and $C_2 = 2 \mu F$.Substituting the values:$\frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 1 \mu F^{-1}$Therefore,$C_{eq} = 1 \mu F$.Alternatively,for $n$ identical capacitors in series,$C_{eq} = \frac{C}{n} = \frac{2 \mu F}{2} = 1 \mu F$.
