Chapter 18, Problem 12CQ

You have three capacitors, not necessarily equal, that you can connect across a battery of fixed potential. Show how you should connect these capacitors (in series or in parallel) so that (a) the capacitors will all have the same charge on their plates; (b) each capacitor will have the maximum possible charge on its plates; (c) you will store the most possible energy in the capacitor combination; (d) the capacitors will all have the same potential across them.
