This is a DC circuit because the battery is the only source of
voltage. Hence the capacitors behave like open circuits. An
equivalent circuit is then two parallel sets of two identical series
resistors, figure. The voltage drop across each parallel branch
must be the battery voltage of 3V. Since the resistors are identical
there is an equal voltage drop of 1.5V across each resistor, In
particular there is a drop of 1.5 Vacross resistor A.
