Capacitor C1 is connected alone to a battery and charged until the mag

1.	Capacitor C1 is connected alone to a battery and charged until the magnitude of the charge on each plate is 4.0 x 10^-8 C. Then it is removed from the battery and connected to two other capacitors C2 and C3. The charge on the positive plate of C1 is then 1.0 x 10^-8 C. The charge on the positive plates of C2 and C3
Answer» ANSWER: The CHARGE on Q2 and Q3 =3× $10^{-8}$ EXPLANATION: By charge CONSERVATION: 4× $10^{-8}$ =1.0× $10^{-8}$ +Q2 since C2 and C3 are connected in series ,so they will have same charge ∴Q2 = Q3 Q3 =3× $10^{-8}$
