### Electrical Engineering Question on Capacitors

In the given circuit diagram, we are asked:

**"What is the potential difference (voltage) across capacitor \(C_3\) in the circuit below?"**

#### Diagram Explanation:
This circuit consists of three capacitors and a battery. 

- \(C_1 = 4F\)
- \(C_2 = 4F\)
- \(C_3 = 1F\)
- The battery voltage, \(V_{\text{bat}}\), is 10V

Capacitors \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) are arranged in parallel, and then this combination is in series with capacitor \(C_3\).

#### Potential Answers:
- ⃝ 15V
- ⃝ 10V
- ⃝ 0V
- ⃝ 5V
- ⃝ 20V

By understanding the configuration and calculations involving capacitance in series and parallel, determine the potential difference across capacitor \(C_3\).

For further learning, the following concepts can be reviewed:
- Capacitors in Series
- Capacitors in Parallel
- Voltage Division across Capacitors
