For the resistor combination, find the equivalent resistance between M and N.

As per what is given, the resistance of the given resistors are = R1, R2, R3, and R4. In order to determine the Equivalent Resistance (R_eq) between M and N, we have to assume the following diagram:

Combination of Resistors

From the figure, R3 and R4 are in parallel combinations. We are already aware that the total resistance can be expressed as follows when two conductors are connected in parallel:

Thus,

1/Rp = 1/R3 + 1/R4

= R4 + R3/R3 x R4

= R3 $\times$ R4/ R4 + R3

Now, it is clear that R1, R2 and Rp are in series. Hence, the equivalent resistance can be represented as:

⇒ R_eq = R1 + R2 + Rp

= R1 + R2 + R3 x R4/ R4 + R3

Therefore, the equivalent resistance, (R_eq) between points M and N equals R1 + R2 + R3 x R4/ R4 +R3.

Capacitors are manufactured with certain standard capacitances and working voltages. However, these standard values may not be the ones that are actually needed in a particular application. Two or more capacitors can be grouped in series or in parallel to achieve desired capacitance and voltage. When connected in series, the total capacitance decreases while the voltage rating increases, whereas in parallel connections, the total capacitance increases and maintains the same voltage rating. A capacitor stores energy in the electric field between its plates and stored energy is proportional to the square of the voltage and capacitance $U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$, where symbols have their usual meanings.
