Question

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)?
