The combined capacitance Cs = [c1c2/ {c1+c2}]
V1 = V0Cs / C1 and V2 = V0Cs /C2.
V1 = V0Cs / C1 and V2 = V0Cs /C2.

Total Capacitance Ct = c1*c2/c1+c2 =
C=g/V
We find out the charge
q=Ct*V
THEN WE Find out the voltage across C1
V1= q/c1
C=g/V
We find out the charge
q=Ct*V
THEN WE Find out the voltage across C1
V1= q/c1

Given
C1=4.7uF, C2=3.3uF, V=18dc;
two capacitors are in series so
Cs=c1*c2/(c1+c2);
Cs=4.7uF * 3.3uF/(4.7uF + 3.3uF);
Cs=1.93uF;
voltage across V1= VCs/C1;
=> 18*1.93/4.7
=7.4V
C1=4.7uF, C2=3.3uF, V=18dc;
two capacitors are in series so
Cs=c1*c2/(c1+c2);
Cs=4.7uF * 3.3uF/(4.7uF + 3.3uF);
Cs=1.93uF;
voltage across V1= VCs/C1;
=> 18*1.93/4.7
=7.4V

How can a dc current flow through a capacitor ?

@vishwanath : i also wondering the same

Only ideal frequency zero in dc but practicaly some frequency is available.

Capacitor acts as open circuit for dc current because frequency f=0 in dc current.

All 18 Vdc should be across c1 because for dc capacitor will be open circuit.

Capacitor allows only AC to flow then how it is possible.

A transient current flows to charge the capacitor. When it gets charged then this capacitor acts as a break in the circuit. Or we can say that ist capacitor acts as DC supply for next capacitor. So same happens for next one.
