Then I think you are asked to find the charge arriving on each capacitor. This is a dc circuit containing capacitors. Since there is no resistance involved, all the capacitors will be charged instantly,hence the current will cease instantly. You can find the charge in terms of C1, C2, C3 and voltage V.ft92 said:
Is this in preparation for an actual experiment using wires, etc., or is this for a computer simulation, or is it some sort of thought exercise?ft92 said:

A capacitor is an electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field. It is made of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material, known as a dielectric.
In a circuit, a capacitor acts as a temporary energy storage device. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, it charges up, and when the voltage is removed, it discharges. This allows the capacitor to store energy and release it when needed.
In an AC circuit, a capacitor can act as a filter, blocking the flow of direct current (DC) while allowing alternating current (AC) to pass. It can also be used to control the phase relationship between voltage and current in the circuit.
No, capacitors have a limited capacity for storing energy. The maximum amount of energy that a capacitor can store is determined by its capacitance, which is measured in farads (F).
Capacitors have many uses in electronic circuits, including power supply filtering, noise reduction, and timing circuits. They are also commonly used in audio equipment, motors, and electronic devices such as cameras and flashlights.
