Answer

The charge on capacitor 1 is $~~100~\mu C$

Work Step by Step

There is a loop in the circuit that includes only the battery and $C_1$ Therefore the potential difference across capacitor 1 is $10.0~V$ We can find the charge on capacitor 1: $q_1 = C_1~V_1$ $q_1 = (10.0~\mu F)(10.0~V)$ $q_1 = 100~\mu C$ The charge on capacitor 1 is $~~100~\mu C$
