Two capacitors A and B with capacities 3μF and 2μF are charged to a potential difference of 100 V and 180 V respectively. The plates of the capacitors are connected as shown in the figure with one wire of each capacitor free. The upper plate of A is positive and that of B is negative. An uncharged 2μF capacitor C with lead wires falls on the free ends to complete the circuit. Calculate the final charge on the three capacitors and the amount of electrostatic energy stored in the system before and after completion of the circuit.
