The independent variable is ( the number of cups, the measured capacitance ); therefore, this variable is best plotted on ( the horizontal axis, the vertical axis, either axis ). The dependent variable is ( the number of cups, the measured capacitance ); therefore, this variable is best plotted ( on the horizontal axis, on the verical axis, on either axis ).

Two parallel plate capacitors, a switch, and an ideal battery are placed in a series circuit as shown.
The potential difference across each capacitor satisfies which of the following relationships?
(There are TWO correct answers.)

Wähle eine oder mehr der folgenden:

The sum of the magnitudes of the potential differences across the two capacitors is equal to the magnitude of the potential difference across the battery when the switch is closed.
