Two capacitors, $C_{1}=5.00 \mu \mathrm{F}$ and $C_{2}=12.0 \mu \mathrm{F}$ , are connected in parallel, and the resulting combination is connected to a $9.00-\mathrm{V}$ battery. Find (a) the equivalent capacitance of the combination, (b) the potential difference across each capacitor, and $(\mathrm{c})$ the charge stored on each capacitor.
