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 are reconnected.
V (4 µF capacitor)
V (12 µF capacitor)
(b) Find the energy stored in the capacitor before they are
disconnected from the battery, and find the energy stored after
they are reconnected
µJ (before disconnected)
µJ (reconnected)

A 14-µF capacitor and a capacitor of unknown capacitance are both charged to 3.25 kV. After charging, the two capacitors are disconnected from the voltage source. The capacitors are then connected to each other--positive plate to negative plate and negative plate to positive plate. The final voltage across the terminals of the 14-µF capacitor is 1.00 kV. a)What is the capacitance of the second capacitor? b)How much energy is dissipated when the connection was made?
