In the following figure,$C_1=5 \mu F$,$C_2=C_3=10 \mu F$ and $\varepsilon=20 \text{ V}$. Initially,the switch $S$ is connected to point $A$ until capacitor $C_1$ is fully charged. Afterwards,the switch is thrown to the left side and connected to point $B$. The charge on capacitor $C_3$ after equilibrium is reached will be (in $\mu C$)

$A$ $10\,\mu F$ capacitor and a $20\,\mu F$ capacitor are connected in series across a $200\,V$ supply line. The charged capacitors are then disconnected from the line and reconnected with their positive plates together and negative plates together,and no external voltage is applied. What is the potential difference across each capacitor?

Two capacitors of capacitances $C$ and $2C$ are charged to potential differences $V$ and $2V$,respectively. These are then connected in parallel in such a manner that the positive terminal of one is connected to the negative terminal of the other. The final energy of this configuration is $.....CV^2$.
