A 4.0 µF capacitor and a 5.0 µF capacitor are connected in series across a 1.5 kV potential difference. The charged capacitors are then disconnected from the source and connected to each other with terminals of like sign together. Find the charge on each capacitor (in mC) and the voltage across each capacitor (in V). (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)
