Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that  the formula of the equivalent capacitance when the capacitor are in the series 

1Ceq=1C1+1C2+1C3

where C1,C2, and C3 are the capacitance of the capacitor 

When the capacitor is in the parallel, then the equivalent capacitor is:- 

Ceq= C1+C2+C3

We also know that the formula of the stored energy by the capacitor is given as 

E= 12qVWe also know that q = CeqV E = 12CeqV×VE = 12CeqV2

where E is the energy stored by the capacitor, V is the voltage.
