Two capacitors , CA = 3 CB , are connected in series : CA\'s top to battery (+)

Question

Two capacitors , CA = 3 CB , are connected in series : CA's top to battery (+) ... CA's bottom to CB's top ... CB's bottom to battery (?) . Which of the following is true? Answer a. CA stores triple the separated charge , at 1/3 the Voltage , and equal amount of Energy , as CB. b. CA stores 1/3 the Q , at 1/3 the Voltage , and 1/9 as much Energy as CB. c. CA stores 1/3 the Q , at equal Voltage , and 1/3 as much Energy . d. CA stores equal Q , at 1/3 the Voltage , and 1/3 as much Energy . e. CA stores equal Q , at 3x the Voltage , and 3x as much Energy . f. CA stores equal Q , at equal Voltage , and just as much Energy .

Explanation / Answer

since in series charge on each capacitor is equal qa =qb Ca = 3Cb 3 Va = Vb answer = e. CA stores equal Q , at 3x the Voltage , and 3x as much Energy
