Question: Capacitor C 1 = 1 . 2 F is charged by a 1 . 5 V battery by closing switch S 1 . ( a

Capacitor C1=1.2F is charged by a 1.5V battery by closing switch S1.
(a) Calculate the charge on C1 when fully charged.
(b) Determine the electrical potential energy stored in the electric field of C1 when fully
charged.
Upon fully charged C1 is partially discharged, charging C2=3.0F by closing switch S2 and
opening switch S1.
(c) Indicate on the diagram the polarities (+ or -) of the charges on plates of C1 and C2 when
S2 is closed.
