97. Determine the equivalent capacitance between A and B for the group of capacitors in the drawing.

As with resistors start as far away from where you want total capacitance to be, so we have 3 capacitors in series, the 24 μF, the 12 μF, and the 8 μF

 

 

Now redraw circuit

 

Next we have two 4 μF capacitors in parallel so we can combine them to

 

 

Again redraw

Now we just have three capacitors in series so the total is
