A 24.0 V battery is connected via switch S to a resistor R = 180 m and two initially uncharged capacitors, C1 = 0.480 μF and C2 = 0.240 μF, as shown in the accompanying circuit diagram. A straight 6.00 m length of nichrome wire with diameter d = 2.50 mm and resistivity = 1.10 × 10−6 m is connected in parallel with the resistor and the capacitors. A voltmeter is connected between point X (1.00 m away from one end of the nichrome wire) and point Y, midway between the two capacitors. 

a. Find the current strength in the nichrome and the resistor 2.88 × 10−8 ???? after the switch is closed. 

b. Calculate the charge on each of the fully charged capacitors. 

c. Determine the steady state reading on the voltmeter.
