Two capacitors, one that has a capacitance of 6 µF and one that has a capacitance of18 µF are first discharged and thenare connected in series. The series combination is then connectedacross the terminals of a 12-V battery. Next, they are carefully disconnected so that they are notdischarged and they are then reconnected to each other--positiveplate to positive plate and negative plate to negative plate.
(a) Find the potential difference across eachcapacitor after they are reconnected.
1Your answer is incorrect. V (6 µFcapacitor)
2Your answer is incorrect. V (18µF capacitor)

(b) Find the energy stored in the capacitor before they aredisconnected from the battery, and find the energy stored afterthey are reconnected
3 µJ (beforedisconnected)
4 µJ(reconnected)
