Hi everyone, I'm studying A2 Physics and I'm looking at the topic of capaictors, Here's the question I'm stuck on - any tips?
"Two caps of cap. C1 and C2 are connected in series, with a p.d. V = V1 + V2 across the combination. Show that the p.d.s V1 and V2 across the individual capacitors are
V1 = C2V/(C1 + C2) and V2 = C1V/(C1 + C2)."
I know the formula for capacitors in series - using that formula I found the total cap, C, in terms of C1 and C2, to be C = C1C2/(C1 + C2). But where do I go from here?
