two parallel-plate capacitors (with air between the plates) are connected to a battery. Capacitor 1 has a plate area of 2.4 cm2 and an electric field (between its plates) of magnitude 1800 V/m. Capacitor 2 has a plate area of 0.56 cm2 and an electric field of magnitude 1700 V/m. What is the total charge on the two capacitors?
