Question
![The circuit in the figure below contains a 9.00 V battery and four capacitors. The two capacitors on the left and right both have the same capacitance of \( C_1 = 7.60 \, \mu \text{F} \). The capacitors in the top two branches have capacitances of 6.00 µF and \( C_2 = 1.60 \, \mu \text{F} \).
[Diagram of the circuit with capacitors arranged: two \( C_1 \) in parallel on left and right, a 6.00 µF capacitor on top, and \( C_2 \) on the top]
(a) What is the equivalent capacitance (in µF) of all the capacitors in the entire circuit?
\[ \text{_____} \, \mu \text{F} \]
(b) What is the charge (in µC) stored by each capacitor?
- Right 7.60 µF capacitor: \[ \text{_____} \, \mu \text{C} \]
- Left 7.60 µF capacitor: \[ \text{_____} \, \mu \text{C} \]
- 1.60 µF capacitor: \[ \text{_____} \, \mu \text{C} \]
- 6.00 µF capacitor: \[ \text{_____} \, \mu \text{C} \]
(c) What is the potential difference (in V) across each capacitor? (Enter the magnitudes.)
- Right 7.60 µF capacitor: \[ \text{_____} \, \text{V} \]
- Left 7.60 µF capacitor: \[ \text{_____} \, \text{V} \]
