9. Two capacitors with capacitances Cı = 4µF and C2 = 6µF are connected in parallel to a 120V emf device (battery) and after some long time, they are disconnected from the source and each other. If they are now connected positive plate to negative plate and negative plate to positive plate, calculate the potential across the plates and resulting charge on each capacitor.
