### Circuit Description and Problems

#### Circuit Diagram:
A circuit diagram is shown with three capacitors and a battery. There are two capacitors of 10μF each and one of 20μF. The battery provides a voltage of 20V. The configuration is as follows:
- Two 10μF capacitors are connected in parallel.
- There is a 20μF capacitor connected in series with the parallel combination of the 10μF capacitors.

#### Problems to Solve:

**a) Terminal Labeling and Charge Sign:**
- Label a positive and negative terminal on the battery in the diagram.
- Indicate the signs of the charge carried by each capacitor plate once fully charged by the battery.

**b) Charge Calculation:**
- Determine the charge values on each of the three capacitors in the circuit after they are fully charged.

**c) Energy Storage Calculation:**
- Calculate the amount of energy stored in the 20μF capacitor when it is fully charged.
