Explanation / Answer

A) Q1 = C1*V

= 2.4*24

= 57.6 micro C

Q2 = C2*V

= 1.8*24

= 43.2 micro C

net charge on both capacitors, Qnet = Q1 - Q2

= 57.6 - 43.2

= 14.4 micro C

Cnet = C1 + C2 = 2.4 + 1.8 = 4.2 micro F

Vnet = Qnet/Cnet

= 14.4/4.2

= 3.428 volts

so, q1 = C1*Vnet

= 2.4*3.428

= 8.23 micro C

B) V1 = Vnet = 3.428 volts

C) q2 = Qnet - q1

= 14.4 - 8.23

= 6.17 micro C

D) v2 = Vnet = 3.428 volts
