Two parallel-plate capacitors, \( 8.0 \mu \mathrm{F} \) each, are connected in parallel to a \( 10 \mathrm{~V} \) battery. One of the capacitors is then squeezed so that its plate separation is \( 50.0 \% \) of its initial value. Because of the squeezing, (a) how much additional charge is transferred to the capacitors by the battery and (b) what is the increase in the total charge stored on the capacitors?
