Two capacitors, C1 = 23.0 µF and C2 = 33.0 µF, are connected inseries, and a 15.0 V battery is connected across them.
(a) Find the equivalent capacitance, and the energy contained inthis equivalent capacitor.
(b) Find the energy stored in each individual capacitor.
(c) If the same capacitors were connected in parallel, whatpotential difference would be required across them so that thecombination stores the same energy as in part (a)?

Two capacitors, C1 = 18.0 uF and C2 = 36.0 uF, are connected in series, and a 12.0V battery is connected across them.

a) Find the equivalent capacitance, and the energy contained in this equivalent capacitor.

b) Find the energy stored in each individual capacitor. Show that the sum of these two energies is the same as the energy found in part a). Will this equality always be true, or does it depend on the number of capacitors and their capacities?

c) If the same capacitors were connected in parallel, what potential difference would be required across them so that the combination stores the same energy as in part a)? Which capacitor stores more energy in this situation, C1 or C2?
