Question 3: The capacitors in the figure are initially uncharged and are connected, as in the diagram, with switch S open. The applied potential difference is Vab = +80 V. a) What is the charge on each capacitor? b) What is the total energy stored in this configuration of four capacitors? c) What is the charge on each capacitor after switch S is closed? d) What is the total energy now stored in this configuration of four capacitors?
