The amount of electric charge that resides on each capacitor once it is fully charged is 0.37 C.

Total capacitance of the circuit

The total capacitance of the circuit is calculated as follows;

Capacitors in series;

1/Ct = 1/8 + 1/7.5

1/Ct = 0.25833

Ct = 3.87 mF

Capacitors is parallel;

Ct = 3.87 mF + 12 mF + 15 mF

Ct = 30.87 mF

Ct = 0.03087 F

Charge in each capacitor

Q = CV

Q = 0.03087 x 12

Q = 0.37 C

Thus, the amount of electric charge that resides on each capacitor once it is fully charged is 0.37 C.
