AP Physics C E and M 11.8: Equivalent Capacitance

Determine the equivalent capacitance of capacitor combinations and use it to analyze charge and potential difference in the circuit.

[Maximum number: 2]

The circuit shown above is composed of an ideal 10 V battery, three resistors and three capacitors with the values shown, and an open switch S. The capacitors are initially uncharged. Switch S is now closed.

For t>0, would the sketch of a graph of the new voltage across $C_{2}$ as a function of time be above, below, or the same as the sketch for part (e) ? Above Below The same
