Charge = Capacitance*Volts
Q=CV

It's been decades since my theory, but I think...
0.5 Volts per cap for 1 Volt total
... And I've confused myself on coulombs, but will share my confusion.

A single 1F cap:
1 Volt
1 Coulomb

A single 0.5F cap: (equivalent circuit for two 1F caps in series)
1 Volt
0.5 coulombs

And here's the confusion, figuring the Coulombs in the caps separately:
1 Farad
0.5 Volts
=0.5 Coulombs each
so 1 Coulomb total, but the single 0.5 cap above contained 0.5 Coulombs total??? WTF?
