To find the equivalent capacitance of the given combination, we need to analyze the circuit.$\\$The circuit consists of three capacitors, each with capacitance $C. \\$Step 1: Identify the configuration of the capacitors.$\\$• The top and bottom capacitors are in parallel.$\\$• The middle capacitor is in series with the parallel combination.$\\$Step 2: Calculate the equivalent capacitance of the parallel capacitors.$\\ C_{parallel} = C + C = 2C \\$
