$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ is connected to a battery and is charged to a potential difference $V$. Another capacitor of capacitance $2C$ is similarly charged to a potential difference $2V$. The charging battery is now disconnected and the capacitors are connected in parallel to each other in such a way that the positive terminal of one is connected to the negative terminal of the other. The final energy of the configuration is

The energy stored in a capacitor is $U$. If an uncharged capacitor of the same capacity is connected in parallel with it,then the energy stored in each capacitor is:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $10 \mu F$ is charged by a $220 \text{ V}$ supply. The capacitor is then disconnected from the supply and is connected to another uncharged parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $12 \mu F$. The loss of electrostatic energy in this process is (in $\text{ mJ}$)

Two identical capacitors are joined in parallel,charged to a potential $V$ and then separated and then connected in series,i.e.,the positive plate of one is connected to the negative plate of the other. What happens to the system?
