Problem

A 4.00 μF4.00\,\mu\mathrm{F} capacitor and a 6.00 μF6.00\,\mu\mathrm{F} capacitor are connected in parallel across a 660 V660\,\mathrm{V} supply line. (1) Find the charge on each capacitor and the voltage across each. (2) The charged capacitors are disconnected from the line and from each other, and then reconnected with terminals of unlike sign together. Find the final charge on each and the voltage across each.
