Consider the circuit shown in Figure P26.24, where C1, = 6.00 µF, C2 = 3.00 µF. and ΔV = 20.0 V. Capacitor C1 is first charged by closing switch S1. Switch S1 is then opened, and the charged capacitor is connected to the uncharged capacitor by closing Calculate (a) the initial charge acquired by C1, and (b) the final charge on each capacitor.
Initially, the switch (as shown in the figure) is in position A and capacitors C2 and C3 are uncharged. Then the switch is flipped to position B. Afterward, what are the charge on and the potential difference across each capacitor if V=100 Volts?
