Two capacitors, one that has a capacitance of and one that

Chapter , Problem 57

(choose chapter or problem)

Two capacitors, one that has a capacitance of and one that has a capacitance of are connected in parallel. The parallel combination is then connected across the terminals of a 12.0- battery. Next, they are carefully disconnected so that they are not discharged. They are then reconnected to each other the positive plate of each capacitor connected to the negative plate of the other. (a) Find the potential difference across each capacitor after they are reconnected. (b) Find the energy stored in the capacitors before they are disconnected from the battery, and find the energy stored after they are reconnected.
