Capacitors of 5.00 µF, 10.0 µF, and 50.0 µF are connected in series across a 12.0-V battery. What is the potential difference across the 10.0-µF capacitor?
parallel capacitors have the same voltage drop, and the fact that series capacitors have the same charge. thus, we will find the charge of the equivalent capacitance for this series distribution and after calculate the voltage of 10-uF from C = Q / V so:
Now:
this charge is the same for each capacitor ('cause they are in series distribution), therefore:

Two capacitors, one that has a capacitance of 4 µF and one that has a capacitance of 12 µF are first discharged and then are connected in series. The series combination is then connected across the terminals of a 14-V battery. Next, they are carefully disconnected so that they are not discharged and they are then reconnected to each other--positive plate to positive plate and negative plate to negative plate. (a) Find the potential difference across each capacitor after they...
