When switch `S` is thrown to the left in figure, the plates of capacitor 1 acquire a potential difference `V_0`. Capacitors 2 and 3 are initially uncharged. The switch is now thrown to the right. What are the final charges `q_1, q_2` and `q_3` on the capacitors?

A battery is used to charge a parallel plate combination of two identical capacitors. If the potential difference across the battery is V and the total charge Q flows through the battery during the charging process then 1) The charge on each capacitor is Q/2 and the potential of each capacitor is V/2 2) The charge on each capacitor is Q and the potential of each capacitor is V 3) The charge on each capacitor is Q/2 and the potential of each capacitor is V 4) The charge on each capacitor is Q and the potential of each capacitor is V/2

The left plate of the capacitor shown in the figure above carries a charge +Q while the right plate is uncharged at t=0 . The total charge on the right plate after closing the switch will be:
