Problem 2 Suppose that we have two capacitors, C₁ = 100 μF and C2 = 50 μF. Capacitor C₁ is charged to an initial voltage of 40 V, and capacitor C₂ is charged to 75 V. If they are placed in series with the negative terminal of capacitor C₁ to the positive terminal of capacitor C2, determine the equivalent capacitance, its initial voltage, and the charge stored on the two capacitors. Compute the total energy stored in the equivalent capacitance.

i need the answer quickly
As discussed in your reading material, the MAIN reason for calculating a capacitance value is to adjust capacitor timing determine the nominal value of the capacitor check for short circuits check for open plates in the capacitor a. b. C. d.
An inductor and a resistor are in series with a sinewave voltage source. The frequency is set so that the inductive reactance is equal to the resistance. If the frequency is increased, then options: Voltage across the inductor= Source Voltage Voltage across the inductor> Voltage across the resistor Voltage across the inductor= Voltage across the resistor Voltage across the resistor > Voltage across the inductor
