Homework Statement
Which of the following capacitors (A vs. A2, which are identical) will have a larger charge, charge accumulation, voltage, energy stored? (Assume that the only difference between the two circuits is the size of the other capacitor in the circuit, as shown.)
Homework Equations
Q=VC, U=1/2CV^2
Net change in voltage in any closed loop in a circut must be 0.
The Attempt at a Solution
Originally, I thought that the voltage of both A and A2 would be the same, because there are two capacitors in a series in each circuit. But I think this is wrong because it makes the charge, charge accumulation, and energy stored all 'same' as well.
