Well by what is given in the problem, we are looking for the two capacitors to have the same voltage across their plates, but according to the drawing, the appear to be in series. However, if you look at the two capacitors as if they were in parallel, it would give the answer that is found in...
The drawing shows two fully charged capacitors (C1 = 2.00\muF, q1 = 6.00\muC; C2 = 8.00\muF, q=12.0\muC). The switch is closed, and charge flows until equilibrium is reestablished (i.e., until both capacitors have the sam voltage across their plates). Find the resulting voltage across either...
