i am not sure, but is it that Q = CV and so i can say C1V1 = C2V2 and i think the voltage drop has to be different for the two capacitors..

I am also working on this question, and I don't know where to begin. i know that the charge on both capacitors is equal

so are you saying that the electric field graph as shown in the figure is indicative of electric field strength? I still don't understand what the graph is indicating, what those lines stand for? and if they were of opposite sign, and the graph is symmetrical, how would i go about deciding which...

Homework Statement Two point charges qA and qB are located on the x-axis at x=a and x=b. The figure is a graph of Ex, the x-component of the electric field. What are the signs of qA and qB? Homework Equations http://session.masteringphysics.com/problemAsset/1071455/4/29.EX31.jpg...
