Charge Sharing & Loss of Energy

A capacitor of capacity C1 charged upto V volt and then connected to an uncharged capacitor of capacity C2. The final potential difference across each will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Charge conservation: C1V=(C1+C2)V′C_1V = (C_1 + C_2)V'.
  2. V′=C1VC1+C2V' = \frac{C_1V}{C_1 + C_2}
  3. So the answer is (a).
