Question
The image depicts a circuit diagram featuring a combination of series and parallel capacitors connected to a battery. Here is a detailed description:

1. **Components:**
   - **Battery:** Positioned at the bottom left of the diagram, supplying the circuit with electrical energy.
   - **Capacitors:**
     - **C1:** Connected in series with the battery.
     - **C2:** Connected in parallel with C3 and C4.
     - **C3 and C4:** Connected in series with each other and together in parallel with C2.

2. **Connections:**
   - The positive terminal of the battery is connected to C1.
   - After C1, the circuit splits into two branches.
   - One branch connects to C2, while the other connects in series to C3 followed by C4.
   - Both branches reconverge before connecting back to the negative terminal of the battery.

3. **Configuration:**
   - C1 is in series with the parallel combination of C2, and the series grouping of C3 and C4.

This setup combines elements of series and parallel circuits to alter the overall capacitance and voltage distribution across the capacitors.

**Capacitor Network Analysis**

Please check all the statements that are true for the capacitor network. Note that the capacitances are all different, but their numerical values are not known.

1. [ ] The charge on C2 is equal to the total charge on the network.
2. [ ] C3 and C4 carry the same amount of charge.
3. [ ] The voltage across C2 is greater than the voltage across C3.
4. [ ] If we add the charge of C2 and the charge of C3, we get the same value as the charge of C1.
5. [ ] The voltage across C3 added to the voltage across C4 is equal to the voltage across C2.
6. [ ] The charge on C1 is equal to the total charge of the network.
7. [ ] C3 and C4 store the same amount of energy.
