Capacitance of capacitors in Combination is given by

CRes = C1+C2+C3+........+ ∞

Now use the given data.

simple calc of infinite gp.....
1/2+1/4+1/8
s=1
therefore eq capacitance is 1mF

how 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 = 1

1/Cnet=1/2+1/4+1/8+..........
=(1/2)/(1-1/2)
=1
so, Cnet=1

@harrys ans will be 1μF not 1mF!!!! :P

sorry euclid the answer will be 1mF the dimensions of the unit will not change
