I'm given that a [tex]2.0\mu F[/tex] capacitor is charged with 300V and [tex]6.0\mu F[/tex] capacitor is charged at 150V. They are then disconnected from the batteries and connected to each other.
I correctly got the net charge between their plates as [tex]3.0*10^{-4}C[/tex], however I can't get the charge on each capacitor. I tried getting the equivelent series capacitance, dividing by the net charge to get the voltage, and then using that voltage to get the charge. It didn't work. How can I go about getting the charge on each capacitor?
