In the figure shown below,the charge on the left plate of the $10\, \mu F$ capacitor is $-30\,\mu C.$ The charge on the right plate of the $6\,\mu F$ capacitor is.....$\mu C$.

$A$ series combination of $n_1$ capacitors,each of value $C_1$,is charged by a source of potential difference $4V$. When another parallel combination of $n_2$ capacitors,each of value $C_2$,is charged by a source of potential difference $V$,it has the same total energy stored in it as the first combination has. The value of $C_2$ in terms of $C_1$ is:
