a. Two capacitors C1 and C2 are connected in series. Here C1= 20 mF and C2= 30 mF. What is the equivalent capacitance of series combination of C1 and C2?

b. Now, suppose the same two capacitors are connected in a parallel configuration. What is the equivalent capacitance of the configuration?

c. Suppose in the case of part (b) that the parallel configuration is connected to a 12 Volt battery. How much charge is stored in each capacitor? How does the sum of these charges compare to the charge of a single capacitor with the equivalent capacitance found in part (b) with a 12 Volt potential difference?

d. How much total energy is stored in the configuration as a whole in part (c)?
