In the figure below, capacitor 1 (C1 = 23.0 F) initially has a potential difference of 51.0 V and capacitor 2 (C2 = 5.40 F) has none. The switches are then closed simultaneously. (a) Find the final charge on each capacitor after a long time has passed. Q1 = C Q2 = C (b) Calculate the percentage of the initial stored energy that was lost when the switches were closed.
