Question
Two capacitors are connected in series and the combination is charged to 100 V. If the voltage across each capacitor is $50 \mathrm{V}$ how do their capacitances compare?

Two capacitors in series are charged through a resistor. Identical capacitors are instead connected in parallel and charged through the same resistor. How do the times required to fully charge the two sets of capacitors compare?
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.)
