Question

For the system of capacitors shown in the figure below, find the following. (Let 

C1 = 5.00 µF  and C2 = 3.00 µF.)
A circuit consists of a 90.0 V battery and four capacitors. The wire begins at the positive terminal of the battery and splits into two parallel branches before reconnecting and then ending at the negative terminal of the battery. Each branch contains two capacitors in series. One branch contains a capacitor labeled C1 followed by a 6.00 µF capacitor. The other branch contains a 2.00 µF capacitor followed by a capacitor labeled C2.
(a) the equivalent capacitance of the system
??? µF

(b) the charge on each capacitor
on C1      ?µC
on C2      ?µC
on the 6.00 µF capacitor     ? µC
on the 2.00 µF capacitor      ?µC

(c) the potential difference across each capacitor
across C1      ?V
across C2      ?V
across the 6.00 µF capacitor      ?V
across the 2.00 µF capacitor      ?V?
