Explanation / Answer

Here ,

V = 53 V

a) as the capacitors are in series

1/Ceq = 1/120 + 1/150

Ceq = 66.7 nF

charge on 120 nF and 150 nF = 66.7 * 53 nC

charge on 120 nF and 150 nF = 3533 nC

charge on 120 nF and 150 nF = 3.53 uC

b)

total energy stored = 0.50 * Ceq * V^2

total energy stored = 0.50 * 66.7 * 10^-9 * 53^2

total energy stored = 9.37 *10^-5 J

c)
Now, for the energy stored in 120 nF

energy stored in 120 nF = 0.50 * (3.53 *10^-6)^2/(120 *10^-9)

energy stored in 120 nF = 5.19 *10^-5 J

energy stored in 150 nF = 9.37 *10^-5 - 5.19 *10^-5

energy stored in 150 nF = 4.18 *10^-5 J

d)

potential across 150 nF = 3.53 *10^-6/(150 *10^-9)

potential across 150 nF = 23.5 V

potential across 120 V = 53 - 23.5

potential across 120 nF = 29.5 V
