Consider the system of capacitors shown in the figure below (C1 = 5.00 µF, C2 = 7.00 µF).

Question

Find the equivalent capacitance of the system. Find the charge on each capacitor. Find the potential difference across each capacitor. Find the total energy stored by the group.

Answer 1

Without "the figure below", we cannot help you with this. The capacitances add if the capacitors are in parallel. In series, the reciprocals add.
