Explanation / Answer

here,

C1 = 2 uF

C2 = 1 uF

C3 = 2 uF

V = 12 V

a)

C2 and C3 are in parallel, their equivalent capacitance , C1' = C2 + C3

C1' = 3 uF

C1' and C1 are in series,

let their equivalent capacitance be Ceq

1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C1'

1/Ceq = 1/2 + 1/3

Ceq = 1.2 uF

b)

the charge across C1 , Q1 = Ceq * V

Q1 = 14.4 uC= 1.44 * 10^-5 C

c)

the charge across C2 , Q2 = (V - Q1/C1 ) * C2

Q2 = ( 12 - 14.4/2) * 1 uC

Q2 = 4.8 * 10^-6 C

d)

the charge across C3 , Q3 = Q1 - Q2

Q3 = 9.6 * 10^-6 C
