In the diagram above, V=100\mathrm{V}=100 volts; C1=12\mathrm{C}_{1}=12 microfarads; C2=24\mathrm{C}_{2}=24 microfarads; R=10\mathrm{R}=10 ohms. Initially, C1\mathrm{C}_{1} and C2\mathrm{C}_{2} are uncharged, and all switches are open. a. First, switch S1\mathrm{S}_{1} is closed. Determine the charge on C1\mathrm{C}_{1} when equilibrium is reached. b. Next S1\mathrm{S}_{1} is opened and afterward S2\mathrm{S}_{2} is closed. Determine the charge on C1\mathrm{C}_{1} when equilibrium is again reached. c. For the equilibrium condition of part (b), determine the voltage across C1\mathrm{C}_{1}. d. S2\quad \mathrm{S}_{2} remains closed, and now S1\mathrm{S}_{1} is also closed. How much additional charge flows from the battery?
