Fill in Table 6.1 so that it shows the relationships between $Q_S$, $Q_1$ and $Q_2$, and between $V_S$, $V_1$ and $V_2$, for the capacitors connected to the supply in series and in parallel.
An isolated capacitor with capacitance $470\,\mu\text{F}$ stores $19\,\text{mJ}$ of energy. Calculate the potential difference across the capacitor.
Calculate the charge stored on the capacitor.
The capacitor is now joined in parallel with another capacitor of capacitance $180\,\mu\text{F}$ that starts off uncharged. Determine the total energy, in mJ, now stored in the two capacitors.
