A level physics capacitors

$Avatar for efsfsf\\eeeeeee$

This question is about investigating the charging and discharging of capacitors.
Two students are given the circuit shown in Fig. 6.1. It consists of two resistors and two uncharged
capacitors, a 10V supply and a two-way switch S.
Resistors both 100k ohms, and capacitors in parallel both 100uF

(a) The first student is asked to investigate the charging of the capacitor C1 when S is connected
to A. She selects an ammeter of range 0 to 100μA reading to 2μA and a stopwatch reading
to 0.1s.
Discuss whether she has made a sensible choice of equipment for this experiment.

(b) The second student is asked to investigate the change of potential difference (voltage) V with
time t across each capacitor from the instant that S is moved from A to B.
(i) Explain why the final potential difference across each capacitor is 5.0V.
