Question: two capacitors are connected in parallel with a 12 v battery until the capacitors are fully charged. Then the battery is disconnected, and a 500

two capacitors are connected in parallel with a 12 v battery until the capacitors are fully charged. Then the battery is disconnected, and a 500 Ohm resistor is connected in place of the battery (i.e. the resistance connected in parallel with two capacitors).

The capacitor values are 2 F and 3 F.


After 1.00 ms has elapsed,

a) How much charge remains on the 3 F capacitor?

b) How much charge remains on the 2 F capacitor?
c) What is the current in the resistor at this time?

d) How much energy remained on each capacitor?
