Capacitors in Combination: The network shown is assembled with uncharged capacitors X , Y, and Z, with CX = 4.0 ?F, CY = 3.0 ?F and CZ = 5.0 ?F. The switches S1 and S2 are initially open, and a potential difference Vab = 120 V is applied between points a and b. After the network is assembled, switch S1 is then closed, but switch S2 is kept open. How much energy is finally stored in capacitor X?
A. 29 mJ B. 0.48 mJ C. 0.24 mJ D. 58 mJ E. 0.96 mJ
