Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure below. (Let C = 12.0 µF.)
A circuit consists of four capacitors. It begins at point a before the wire splits in two directions. 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. The two splits reconnect and are followed by a 20.0 µF capacitor, which is then followed by point b.
(a) Find the equivalent capacitance between points a and b. µF(b) Calculate the charge on each capacitor, taking ΔVab = 16.0 V.
