Capacitor C1 is connected alone to a battery and charged until the magnitude of the charge on each plate is 4.0 x 10^-8 C. Then it is removed from the battery and connected to two other capacitors C2 and C3, as shown. The charge on the positive plate of C1 is then 1.0 x 10^-8 C. The charges on the positive plates of C2 and C3 are: A) q2 = 3.0 x 10^-8 C and q3 = 3.0 x 10^-8 C B) q2 = 2.0 x 10^-8 C and q3 = 2.0 x 10^-8 C C) q2 = 5.0 x 10^-8 C and q3 = 1.0 x 10^-8 C D) q2 = 3.0 x 10^-8 C and q3 = 1.0 x 10^-8 C E) q2 = 1.0 x 10^-8 C and q3 = 3.0 x 10^-8 C
