Homework Statement


In the figure (link below), C1 = 20 [itex]\mu[/itex]F, C2 = 24 [itex]\mu[/itex]F, C3 = 16 [itex]\mu[/itex]F, C4 = 20 [itex]\mu[/itex]F, C5 = 22 [itex]\mu[/itex]F, and V = 20 V. How much energy is stored by C2?

Here's the figure:

Homework Equations


Q = C[itex]\Delta[/itex]V
Ucap = (1/2)C[itex]\Delta[/itex]V2
Ceq = C1 + C2 + C3 + ...

The Attempt at a Solution


This was a last problem on a test that I got destroyed on, and we're getting credit for corrections but I'm still clueless to where I start. Any help is appreciated!
