APFIVE Energy Stored in Series Capacitors
Two capacitors with capacitances C₁ and C₂ are connected in series and charged to a potential difference V. If the capacitors are disconnected from the source and from each other without discharging, what is the total electric potential energy stored in the system?
A
½V²(C₁C₂)/(C₁+C₂)
B
½V²(C₁+C₂)
C
V²(C₁+C₂)
D
V²(C₁C₂)
