ANSWER:

Solution 18E Step 1 of 5: Given 6 C 1 3 × 10 F C = 5 × 10 F 6 2 5 Q = 9.75 × 10 C V = 1 V 2 First we have to find the effective capacitance of the capacitors,then the charge and finally potential difference across the C a1d C . 2 When the two capacitors are in series , then the equivalent capacitance ! = ! + ! = ! + 1 = 5.33 × 10 F 1 Ceq C1 C2 3×10 F 5×10 F C eq = 15 1 = 1.88 × 10 F6 5.33×10 F
