Question

For the system of capacitors shown in the figure at right, find a) the equivalent capacitance of the system, b) the potential across each capacitor, c) the charge on each capacitor, and d) the total energy stored by the group.

This image depicts an electrical circuit featuring a combination of capacitors and a power source.

### Circuit Components:

1. **Capacitors:**
   - **2.00 μF** capacitor
   - **8.00 μF** capacitor
   - **4.00 μF** capacitor
   - **6.00 μF** capacitor

2. **Voltage Source:**
   - A power source supplying **95.0 V**.

### Configuration:

- The capacitors are organized in a combination of parallel and series configurations.
- The 2.00 μF and 8.00 μF capacitors are connected in series.
- This series combination is connected in parallel with the series combination of 4.00 μF and 6.00 μF capacitors.
- The parallel configuration is then connected to a 95.0 V power source, forming a closed circuit.

### Analysis:
- To determine equivalent capacitance, one must first calculate the series capacitance of the two pairs and then combine them using the rules for parallel capacitance.
- This circuit exemplifies the principles of combining capacitors in various configurations to affect the overall circuit behavior.
