The capacitor network is connected to an applied potential V ab as shown in Fig. 3. After the charges
on the capacitors have reached their final values, the charge on C 2 is 25.0 μC. C1 = 3.00 μF, C2 = 5.00
μF, and C3 = 10.00 μF.
(Hint: The sum of charges on C1 and C2 is equal to the charges on C3.)
