Problem-capacitors in series


Assignment:

A 5.0 uf capacitor is connected to a 3.5 uf capacitor, and both of them are connected to a 6 volt battery.

1) What is the charge on each capacitor? What is the voltage on each capacitor?
2) With the battery still connected, the 3.5 uf cap is accidentally shorted out. As a result, what are the charge and voltage of the 5.0 uf cap?
3) The shorted out cap is replaced by a new 3.5 uf cap; the system is charged up again and then the battery is disconnected. Again, the 3.5 uf cap is accidentally shorted out. What now is the charge and voltage of the 5.0 uf capacitor?
