QuestionDetails: I need to derive an equation that solves for C1. V = V0C1/(C1 +C2) (constantsare V0C1) I have C1= C2/((V0/V)-1) but i think its wrongbecause I do not always get the same number for C1. is my equationwrong?

Explanation / Answer
Given the equation is V =Vo C1/(C1+C2) V(C1+ C2) = Vo C1 VC1+ VC2 = VoC1 VC1= VoC1 - V C2 C1 = (Vo/V)C1 -C2 C1[(Vo/V) -1] = C2 C1 = C2 /[(Vo/V) -1] Or C1 =C2V/(Vo- V)
