Question

5. Energy of a charged capacitor is U. now it is removed
from a battery and then is connected to another identical
uncharged capacitor in parallel. What will be the energy
of each capacitor now?

Answer 1

Now it is removed from a battery and then is connected to another identical uncharged. Capacitor in parallel. What will be

Answer 2

Answer:

• We know the energy of a capacitor in term of its charge Q and capacitance C is

• But, When it is removed from a battery and then is connected to another identical uncharged capacitor in parallel both capacitor will acquire charge equal to

• In order to maintain same potential of both capacitor. So, energy of each capacitor .

Hope this will help you ☺️♥️
