A capacitor C1 carries a charge Q0. Is is then connected directly to a second, uncharged, capacitor C2.
What charge will each carry now? Q1 = Q0C1/(C1 + C2); Q2 = Q0C2/(C1 + C2)
What will be the potential difference across each?
V = Q0 / (C1 + C2)

I know that the formula Q = CV is used, but how do you manipulate it (other than V = Q/C) to get the answers in bold?
Thanks.
