Switch closed on left, capacitor C1 is being
charged
Q1  C1V  10 10V  100C
We have C2 = C3 = 20 μF in parallel.
The equivalent capacitor is then Ceq = 40
μF. When the switch is thrown to right,
the battery is disconnected, the charge is
shared between the capacitors C1 and
Ceq = 40. What is the charge on old C2
and C3? Is your answer 40 μC? What is
your answer if C2 = 10 μF and C3 = 30
μF?
