The figure shows a 12.0 V battery and three initially uncharged capacitors (C1 = 6.00 μF, C2 = 12.0 μF, C3 = 18.0 μF). The switch is first thrown to the left to charge capacitor 1. Then it is thrown to the right to transfer some of the charge to capacitors 2 and 3. When equilibrium is reached, what is the charge (μC) on capacitor 2?

The figure shows a 11.1 V battery and four uncharged capacitors of capacitances C1 = 1.29 μF, C2 = 2.25 μF, C3 = 3.38 μF, and C4 = 4.23 μF. If only switch S1 is closed, what is the charge on (a) capacitor 1, (b) capacitor 2, (c) capacitor 3, and (d) capacitor 4? If both switches are closed, what is the charge on (e) capacitor 1, (f) capacitor 2, (g) capacitor 3, and (h) capacitor 4?
