Capacitor C 1 is connected alone to a battery and charged until the magnitude of the charge on each plate is 4.0 x 10 -8 C. Then it is removed from the vattery and connected to two other capacitors C 2 and C 3 , as shown.The charge ont he positive placte of C 1 is then 1.0x 10 -8 C.The charges on the positive plates of C 2 and C 3 are:

A) q 2 = 3.0 x10 - -8 C and q 3 = 3.0 x 10 -18 C
B) q 2 = 2.0 x10 -8 Cand q 3 = 2.0 x10 -8 C
C) q 2 = 5.0 x 10 -8 Cand q 3 = 1.0x 10 -8 C
D) q 2 = 3.0 x10 -8 C and q 3 = 1.0x10 -8 C
E) q 2 = 1.0 x10 -8 Cand q 3 = 3.0 x10 -8 C
