A circuit contains a switch and two capacitors connected in parallel as shown in the picture. Before the switch is closed, there is a potential difference of 10 volts across capacitor C₁ = 1.4 F and 0 volts across capacitor C₂ = 2.9 F. After the switch is closed and C₁ shares its charge with C2, what potential difference (in Volts) will the voltmeter read on either capacitor? You answer should be of one decimal place. 10 V

A circuit has a 42.3 pF capacitor, a 59.6 pF capacitor and a 69.4 pF capacitor in parallel with each other. What is the equivalent capacitance (in pico-Farads) of these three capacitors?
An engineer has three different capacitors of unknown capacitance. She labels them C₁, C2, and C3. First, she connects C₁ to a battery, and the charge on C₁ is 91 = 32.8 µC. Then, she disconnects and discharges C₁, and connects it in series with C₂. When she connects this series combination of C₂ and C₁ across the battery, the charge on C₁ is 92 22.1 μC. The engineer disconnects the circuit and discharges both capacitors. Next, she connects C3, C₁, and the battery in series, which results in a charge on C₁ of 93 = 25.7 μC. If, after being disconnected and discharged, she connects C₁, C₂, and C3 in series with the battery, what is the charge on C₁ (in µC)? μC
