"first; let's find the total capacitances in circuit. "first; let's find the total capacitances in circuit.

"for capacitors "4 mu F and 2 mu F," total="4+2=6 mu F"(in parallel)"for capacitors 4μFand2μF, total=4+2=6μF(in parallel)

"for capacitors "6 mu F " and " 6 mu F" " 1/("total")=1/(6)+1/6for capacitors 6μF and 6μF 1total=16+16

"total capacitance="6/2=3 mu Ftotal capacitance=62=3μF

C=3*10^-6F" (total capacitance for circuit")C=3106F (total capacitance for circuit)

C=Q/VC=QV

Q=C*VQ=CV

Q=3*10^-6*12Q=310612

Q=36*10^-6C" (total charge for circuit)"Q=36106C (total charge for circuit)

x+2x=36*10^-6x+2x=36106

3x=36*10^-63x=36106

x=12.10^-6Cx=12.106C

"charge of 2"mu F rarr 12*10^-6Ccharge of 2μF12106C

"charge of 4"mu F rarr 24*10^-6Ccharge of 4μF24106C

"charge of 6"mu F rarr 36*10^-6Ccharge of 6μF36106C
