Chapter 21, Problem 88GP

CE The circuit shown in Figure 21-58 shows a resistor and two capacitors connected in series with a battery of voltage V. The circuit also has an ammeter and a switch. Initially, the switch is open and both capacitors are uncharged. The following questions refer to a time long after the switch is closed and current has ceased to flow. (a) In terms of V₁ what is the voltage across the capacitor C₁ ? (b) In terms of CV₁ what is the charge on the right plate of C₂? (c) What is the net charge that flowed through the ammeter during charging? Give your answer in terms of CV.
