Homework Statement
Consider two capacitors ##C_1##=10μf and ##C_2##=40μFif the two are connected in series to a 9.0 volt battery What are the charges ##Q_1## and ##Q_2## stored on the two capacitors?
Homework Equations
##Q##-##C####V##
The Attempt at a Solution
The capacitors are connected in series hence equivaIent capacitance would be 8μF (by solving I got this)I want to know shall I put 9.0 in place of V in the formula above,just because they are connected to a 9.0 volt battery ,potential difference between the two capacitors would be same as battery emf?is it always the case that potential difference between components is same as emf of connected battery?or is just happens in case of series connection?
