  1. Zero.
  2. We have $\text{C}_{series} = \frac{3\mu\text{F}}{3} =1 \mu\text{F}$
Also, $\text{C}_{parallel} =( 3 + 3 +3 ) =9 \mu\text{F}$

Energy stored $ = \frac{1}{2}\text{CV}^{2}$

$\therefore$Energy in series combination $ =\frac{1}{2}1 \times10^{-6}\times\text{V}^{2}$

Energy in parallel combination $ =\frac{1}{2}9 \times10^{-6}\times\text{V}^{2}$

$\therefore$ Ratio = 1:9.
