In a circuit shown in Fig. 3.22 find the potential difference between the left and right plates of each capacitor.

Reveal Answer
V1=(E2E1)/(1+C1/C2),V2=(E1E2)/(1+C2/C1)V_{1}=\left(\mathscr{E}_{2}-\mathscr{E}_{1}\right) /\left(1+C_{1} / C_{2}\right), V_{2}=\left(\mathscr{E}_{1}-\mathscr{E}_{2}\right) /\left(1+C_{2} / C_{1}\right)
