Problem

A 1 μF1\,\mu\text{F} capacitor and a 2 μF2\,\mu\text{F} capacitor are connected in series across a 1200 V1200\text{ V} supply. (a) Find the charge on each capacitor and the voltage across each. (b) The charged capacitors are disconnected from the supply and from each other, then reconnected with terminals of like sign together. Find the final charge on each capacitor and the voltage across each.
