Solution Summary
The capacitor stores with charges are examined. The answer is given step-by-step equationally.
Solution Preview
When two capacitors are connected in series the equivalent capacitance is given by,
1/C_eq = 1/c1 + 1/c2
C_eq = c1*c2/[c1+c2]
Thus here, C_eq = 7.5*10^-6*15*10^-6/[7.5+15]*10^-6
= 5*10^-6 Farad = 5 microfarad ...
