Problem B15:
The two capacitors shown in the figure above are connected in parallel. The plates of each
capacitor have the same area. Initially the plates of each capacitor are separated by
the same distance d0, and they have the same charge of n1 Coulombs
on their plates. Then, the plates of the bottom capacitor are separated to a distance
n2d0 and charge flows from this capacitor to the top one. What is
the final charge in Coulombs on the plates of the top capacitor? If the final charge
on the plates of the top capacitor is n3 Coulombs, what is n3?
