Energy in capacitors: In the circuit shown in the figure, all the capacitors are air-filled. With the switch S open, the 40.0-µF capacitor has an initial charge of 5.00 µC while the other three capacitors are uncharged. The switch is then closed and left closed for a long time. Calculate the initial and final values of the total electrical energy stored in these four capacitors.
