Four capacitors,each of capacity $3\,\mu F$,are connected as shown in the adjoining figure. The ratio of the equivalent capacitance between $A$ and $B$ to that between $A$ and $C$ will be:

While working on a physics project at a school physics lab,you require a $4 \,\mu F$ capacitor in a circuit across a potential difference of $1 \,kV$. Unfortunately,$4 \,\mu F$ capacitors are out of stock in your lab,but $2 \,\mu F$ capacitors which can withstand a potential difference of $400 \,V$ are available in plenty. If you decide to use the $2 \,\mu F$ capacitors in place of the $4 \,\mu F$ capacitor,what is the minimum number of capacitors required?
