Question: Two capacitors, C 1 = 1 7 . 0 F and C 2 = 4 5 . 0 F , are connected in series, and
Two capacitors, CF and CF are connected in series, and a V battery is connected across the two capacitors.
a Find the equivalent capacitance.
F
b Find the energy stored in this equivalent capacitance.
E J
c Find the energy stored in each individual capacitor.
capacitor E Jcapacitor E J
d Show that the sum of these two energies is the same as the energy found in part b
The amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in the electric field is known as the electric potential

Comment:
e Will this equality always be true, or does it depend on the number of capacitors and their capacitances?
This equality will always be true.This equality depends on the number of capacitors.
f If the same capacitors were connected in parallel, what potential difference would be required across them so that the combination stores the same energy as in part a
V
g Which capacitor stores more ene
