The circuit shown in FIGURE 21-58 shows a resistor and two capacitors connected in series with a battery of voltage V. The circuit also has an ammeter and a switch. Initially, the switch is open and both capacitors are uncharged. The following questions refer to a time long after the switch is closed and current has ceased to flow.

(a) In terms of V, what is the voltage across the capacitor C1?

(b) In terms of CV, what is the charge on the right plate of C2?

(c) What is the net charge that flowed through the ammeter during charging? Give your answer in terms of CV.
