Title: Help, what is the total capacitance of the 3 capacitors in this circuit?

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)?

Looks like someone had some issues with their physics homework.

red, do you even know what a capacitor is?

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

My point still stands.

Nice googling skills

Wow the replies in this thread.
Except the useful ones.

stop doing physics right now i've done it before and it is not the correct path to take in life

How do you do this without knowing the resistance of the bulb?

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.
