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?

1.Consider the build-up of the charge on a capacitor as described in the introducation to this lab. Assume that you start with an initially uncharged capacitor, as in figure 1 and then you close the switch to a battery of Voltage V0. After that time, how many time constants must elapse before the charge reaches 39%, 63%, and 86% of its final value?
2.For the same case you were considering in problem 1, asume that the capacitor is now fully charged. Now the switch is flipped to position 2, and the charge on the capacitor begins to decay away. After that time, how many time constants much elapse before the charge reaches 61%, 37% and 13% of its initial value (the value right before you flipped the switch to position 2)?
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.
In the circuit shown in the figure (Figure 1) both capacitors are initially charged to 50.0 V.
a) How long after closing the switch S will the potential across each capacitor be reduced to 10.0 V?
b) What will be the current at that time?
