Question 24





Q24: Consider the circuit shown in Figure P26.24, where C1 = mF, C2 = mF, and DV = V. Capacitor C1 is first charged by clos- ing switch S1. Switch S1 is then opened, and the charged capacitor is con- nected to the uncharged capacitor by closing S2. Calculate
(a) the initial charge acquired by C1 and
(b) the final charge on each capacitor.
