  1. Find the total effective capacitance between the two contacts (the round circles at the top and the bottom) of the arrangement of capacitors drawn above. Naturally, show all work.
  2. If a potential $V$ is connected across the contacts, indicate the relative size of the charge on each capacitor. (It will probably be easiest if you give your answers in terms of $Q = CV$.)
