[ ]V (across C1) [ ]V (across C2) [ ]V (across the 6.00 microF capacitor) [ ]V (across the 2.00 microF capacitor) (d) Find the total energy stored by the group. [ ]mJ

Explanation / Answer

a.) 3 + 1.6 = 4.6

b.) 16.66666 nC
14.2222 nC
16.66666 nC
   3.555555 nC

c.)   45 v
72 v
45 v
   18 v

d.) Energy = 0.5*Ceq*V2 = 0.5 * 4.6 * 902 = 18.63 mJ
