Explanation / Answer

In steady state, both Capactiros behave like open ckt


So resistances will be connected in series

thus

RNet = R1 +R2 + R2

Rnet = 5.1 + 10.30 + 15.29

Rnet = 30.69 ohms

Inet = V/R ( ohms law)

Inet = 20.8/30.69 = 0.677 Amps

Volatge across AB = Vab = IR1

Vab = 0.677 * 5.1

Vab = 3.45 Volts

---------------------------

Voltage across ac = Vac = I R2

Vac = 0.677 * 10.30

Vac = 6.97 Volts

-----------------------------

Energy Stored across C1, U1 = 0.5 C1 Vab^2

U1 = 0.5 * 5.04 *10^-6 * 3.45^2

U1 = 30 uJ

U2 , the energy across C2 = 0.5 C2 Vac^2

U2 = 0.5 * 10.10 *10^-6 * 6.97^2

U2 = 245.33 uJ

total Enegry U = U1 + U2

Unet = 30 uJ + 245.33 uJ

Unet = 275.33 uJ
