☑
You are correct that the charge on this capacitor will be the same as the charge on the 3 μF capacitor. μC
In the pivot assignment, we observed waves moving on a string stretched by hanging
weights. We noticed that certain frequencies produced standing waves. One such
situation is shown below:

On the upper split, there is a capacitor C followed by a 3.00 µF capacitor. On the lower split, there is a 6.00 µF capacitor.
