AP Physics C: E&M
10.3 Capacitors

Which of the following correctly pairs the potential difference \(V_1\) across capacitor \(C_1\) and the ratio \(U_2 / U_{\text{total}}\), where \(U_2\) is the electric energy stored in capacitor \(C_2\) and \(U_{\text{total}}\) is the total energy stored in all four capacitors?
| Choice | Potential Difference \(V_1\) | Energy Ratio \(U_2 / U_{\text{total}}\) |
|---|---|---|
| (A) | \(\dfrac{1}{2} V_0\) | \(\dfrac{1}{8}\) |
| (B) | \(\dfrac{1}{2} V_0\) | \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) |
| (C) | \(\dfrac{2}{3} V_0\) | \(\dfrac{1}{8}\) |
| (D) | \(\dfrac{2}{3} V_0\) | \(\dfrac{1}{6}\) |
