Given:

 C1 = 2 mF
 C2 = 3 mF
 C3 = 4 mF
 V = 12 V

Find:

 Ceq
 Qeq
 Q1
 Q2
 V1
 V2

Solution:

 Ceq = [(1/C1) + (1/C23)]^-1

 Ceq = [(1/2 mF) + (1/7 mF)]^-1
 Ceq = 14/9 mF
 Ceq = 1.6 mF

 Qeq = (Ceq)(Veq)
 Qeq = (1.6 mF)(12 V)
 Qeq = 19.2 mC
  Q1 = 19.2 mC

 Q2 = (Qeq)[(C2)/(C23)]
 Q2 = (19.2 mC)[(3 mF)/(7 Mf)]
 Q2 = 8.2 mC

 Q3 = (Qeq)[(C3)/(C23)]
 Q3 = (19.2 mC)[(4 mF)/(7 Mf)]
 Q3 = 11.0 mC

 V1 = (Q1)/(C1)
 V1 = (19.2 mC)/(2 mF)
 V1 = 9.6 V

 V2 = (Q2)/(C2)
 V2 = (8.2 mC)/(3 mF)
 V2 = 2.7 V

 V3 = (Q3)/(C3)
 V3 = (11.0 mC)/(4 mF)
 V3 = 2.8 V

Final answer:

 Ceq = 1.6 mF
 Qeq = 19.2 mC
 Q1 = 19.2 mC
 Q2 = 8.2 mC
 Q3 = 11.0 mC
 V1 = 9.6 V
 V2 = 2.7 V
 V3 = 2.8 V

Given:

 C1 = 2 mF
 C2 = 1 mF
 C3 = 3 mF
 V = 19 V

Find:

 Ceq
 Qeq
 V3
 V1
 Q1
 Q2
 Q3

Solution:

 C12 = [(1/C1) + (1/C2)]^-1

 C12 = [(1/2) + (1/1)]^-1
 C12 = 2/3
 C12= 0.7 mF
 Ceq = C12 + C3
 Ceq = 0.7 mF + 3 mF
 Ceq = 3.7 mF

 Qeq = (Ceq)(Veq)
 Qeq = (3.7 mF)(9 V)
 Qeq = 33.3 mC

 Q1 = Qeq [(C12)/(C123)]
  Q1 = 33.3 mC [(0.7 mF)/(3.7 mF)]
 Q1 = 6.3 mC
 Q2 = 6.3 mC

 Q3 = Qeq [(C3)/(C123)]
 Q3 = 33.3 mC [(3 mF)/(3.7 mF)]
 Q3 = 27 mC

 V3 = Q3/C3
 V3 = (27 mC)/(3 mF)
 V3 = 9 V

 V1 = Q1/C1
 V1 = (6.3 mC)/(2 mF)
 V1 = 3.2 V
