26. Capacitors & Dielectrics / Solving Capacitor Circuits / Problem 9

A physics student connects two identical parallel-plate capacitors with a capacitance of 4 μF to a battery with a voltage difference of 10 V, either in series or in parallel. The two plates are separated by a distance of 1mm.  Determine i) the ratio of the energy stored (Useries/Uparallel). ii) the ratio of the maximum amount of charge stored (Qseries/Qparallel), and iii) the ratio of the electric field (Eseries/Eparallel) between the two plates.
