The capacitors in the figure View Figure are initially uncharged and are connected, as in the diagram, with switch S open. The applied potential difference is V_{ab}= + 210 {V}. What is the potential difference V_{cd}? 70 V Correct my answers Part B What is the potential difference V_{ad}...

Ok well I got the voltages across each capacitor, but I am now stuck on how much charge flows through that switch. Shouldn't it be 210*Capacitance equivalent? I got for 210*Ceq as 1.89*10^-3 but its wrong. Any hints?

woops sorry, it asks first for the voltage between c and d when the switch is open, which I got. 70V. Then it goes to ask the potential across each capacitor when the switch is closed, which is the part I am confused about. Lastly it asks the total charge through the switch. Thanks and sorry...

Homework Statement Well the only thing the problem gives is 210 V Homework Equations Q=VC series Q=Q=Q.. V+V=V 1/C=1/C+1/C.. parallel Q+Q+Q.. V=V=V.. C+C+C.. around a loop the voltage is zero. The Attempt at a Solution Now I have no where to begin. I can see three...
