Charge Sharing & Loss of Energy
A capacitor, is charged to a potential difference of using a 5V battery. The battery is removed and another capacitor, is inserted in place of the battery. When the switch 'S' is closed, the charge flows between the capacitors for some time until equilibrium condition is reached. What are the charges ( and ) on the capacitors and when equilibrium condition is reached.

Show answer and solution
Answer: (a)
- C
- Common potential V
- C, C
- So the answer is (a).
