Homework Equations


I have to find the charge in each capacitor

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't know how can i start, can i use kirchhoff rule in each loop, using q/C when i go through a capacitor?

First of all, what will be the current through each capacitor?

I have to assume that capacitors are fully charged, and current through them is 0?

So i have only big loop for the circuit that involves the 10 resistors?

Right. You can simply use the voltage divider equation and get the voltages across the capacitors.
 
It has been done with easy numbers such that the answer is the simplest possible and you can work it out in your head. :oldwink:
