(a) Each capacitor holds a different amount of charge.
(b) The equivalent capacitance of the circuit is the sum of the individual capacitances.
(c) The total voltage supplied by the battery is the sum of the voltages across each capacitor.
(d) The total positive charge in the circuit is the sum of the positive charges on each capacitor.
(e) The total voltage supplied by the battery is equal to the average voltage across all the capacitors.

Please explain why the answer is correct. Thanks!

Explanation / Answer

C beacuse in series voltage of battery gets divided between the elements connected across it
