10\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor and a

20\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor are connected in series. This series combination is connected in parallel with a

5\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor. When the circuit is connected to a battery, the charge on the

5\,\mu\text{F}

capacitor is

200\,\mu\text{C}

. Find: (i) the potential difference supplied by the battery (ii) the charge on the

10\,\mu\text{F}

and

20\,\mu\text{F}

capacitors
