AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the total battery voltage when two capacitors of capacitance \(6 \mu F\) and \(12 \mu F\) are connected in series, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Circuit Configuration When capacitors are connected in series, they share the same charge. The voltage across each capacitor can be different, but the total voltage from the battery is the sum of the voltages across each capacitor. ### Step 2: Use the Formula for Charge The charge \(Q\) on a capacitor is given by the formula: \[ ...
