Question

Please answer letter D and E. Thank you 

4. Six capacitors are connected as shown in the figure.
(a) If Cs=2.30nF, what does C2 have to be to yield an equivalent capacitance of 5.00 nF for the
combination of two capacitors?
(b) For the same values of Cz and Cs in part (a), what is the value of Ci that will give an
equivalent capacitance of 1.914 nF for the combination of 3 capacitors.
(c) For the same values of C., C., Cs as in part (b), what is the equivalent capacitance of the
whole set of capacitors if the values of the other capacitances are C=1.30 nF, Cs=1.70 nF and
Ce-4.70 nF?
(d) If a battery with a potential difference of 11.70 V is connected to the capacitors as shown in
the figure, what is the total charge on the six capacitors?
(e) What is the potential drop across Cs?
