//Example 19.10
C1=1*10^-6;//Capacitance of capacitor 1 (F)
C2=5*10^-6;//Capacitance of capacitor 2 (F)
C3=8*10^-6;//Capacitance of capacitor 3 (F)
C_s=1/(1/C1+1/C2);//Effective capacitance of capacitors in series (F)
C_tot=C_s+C3;//Total capacitance (F)
printf('Total capacitance of the combination = %0.3e F',C_tot)
