Then the current divider rule states that the currents IL 1 and IL 2 are given by

R.2.122 Now consider two capacitors C 1 and C 2 con nected in series as shown in Figure 2.36
with and applied voltage Vo across them.
Then the voltages VC 1 and VC 2 are evaluated by using the voltage divider rule
as follows:
V
