• 144 Coulombs

• 60 Coulombs

• 276 Coulombs

How do you calculate the total capacitance for capacitors in parallel?

• Divide the capacitances

• Subtract the capacitances

• Add the capacitances

• Multiply the capacitances

What is the total capacitance of the circuit with capacitors of 12, 6, and 5 farads?
