Explanation / Answer
a) Charge on C1
The voltage difference Vad = (2/5)*vab = 0.4*33 = 13.2 V and Vdb = 19.8 V.
Charge on C1 = Vad*(C1 series C2) = Vad*C/2 = 13.2*4.3/2 = 28.38 uC.
b) Charge on C2 = charge on C1 = 28.38 uC (because both are in series).
c) Charge on C3 = Vad*C = 56.76 uC
d) Charge on C4 = vdb*C = 19.8*4.3 = 85.14 uC
e) Potential difference across C1 = Vad/2 = 6.6 V
f) Potential difference across C2 = Vad/2 = 6.6 V
g) Potential difference across C3 = vad = 13.2 V
h) Potential difference across C4 = vdb = 19.8 V
