Plot 1 in Fig. (a) gives the charge q that can be stored on capacitor 1 versus the electric potential V set up across it. The vertical scale is set by qs=16.0 μC, and the horizontal scale is set by Vs=2.0 V. Plots 2 and 3 are similar plots for capacitors 2 and 3, respectively. Figure (b) shows a circuit with those three capacitors and a 10.0 V battery. What is the charge stored on capacitor 2 in that circuit?
