4, 6 and 10 microfarad capacitors hooked up to a 4.5V battery in the configuration above. Would it be 3.2 uF? (1/c = 1/(6+10) + 1/4)?

A capacitor stores electric charge. It usually has one or more pairs of conductors, separated by an insulator.

My point still stands.

The resistance is irrelevant as far as I know?
Q=CV
And power is some other equation like energy over time or something.

I have the charge and I got the energy,  but the power is what I'm having trouble with.

Oh wait, I'm retarded, never mind, I got it.
