$A$ capacitor $C_1 = 1.0 \, \mu F$ is charged up to a voltage $V = 60 \, V$ by connecting it to a battery $B$ through switch $(1)$. Now,$C_1$ is disconnected from the battery and connected to a circuit consisting of two uncharged capacitors $C_2 = 3.0 \, \mu F$ and $C_3 = 6.0 \, \mu F$ in series through a switch $(2)$ as shown in the figure. The sum of the final charges on $C_2$ and $C_3$ is ...... $\mu C$.
