Two capacitors give an equivalent capacitance of 9.00 $\mathrm{pF}$ when connected in parallel and an equivalent capacitance of 2.00 $\mathrm{pF}$ when connected in series. What is the capacitance of each capacitor?
(II) When two capacitors are connected in parallel and then connected to a battery, the total stored energy is 5.0 times greater than when they are connected in series and then connected to the same battery. What is the ratio of the two capacitances? (Before the battery is connected in each case, the capacitors are fully discharged.)
