Consider a simple $RC$ circuit as shown in Figure $1$.
Process $1$: In the circuit,the switch $S$ is closed at $t=0$ and the capacitor is fully charged to voltage $V_0$ (i.e.,charging continues for time $T \gg RC$). In the process,some dissipation $(E_D)$ occurs across the resistance $R$. The amount of energy finally stored in the fully charged capacitor is $E_C$.
Process $2$: In a different process,the voltage is first set to $V_0/3$ and maintained for a charging time $T \gg RC$. Then the voltage is raised to $2V_0/3$ without discharging the capacitor and again maintained for time $T \gg RC$. The process is repeated one more time by raising the voltage to $V_0$ and the capacitor is charged to the same final voltage $V_0$.
These two processes are depicted in Figure $2$.
$(1)$ In Process $1$,the energy stored in the capacitor $E_C$ and heat dissipated across resistance $E_D$ are related by:
$[A]$ $E_C = E_D$
$[B]$ $E_C = E_D \ln 2$
$[C]$ $E_C = \frac{1}{2} E_D$
$[D]$ $E_C = 2 E_D$
$(2)$ In Process $2$,the total energy dissipated across the resistance $E_D$ is:
$[A]$ $E_D = \frac{1}{2} CV_0^2$
$[B]$ $E_D = 3 \left( \frac{1}{2} CV_0^2 \right)$
$[C]$ $E_D = \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{1}{2} CV_0^2 \right)$
$[D]$ $E_D = 3 CV_0^2$
Select the correct pair of answers for $(1)$ and $(2)$.

When we touch the terminals of a high voltage capacitor,even after the power supply has been disconnected,the capacitor has a tendency to:

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ is connected to a battery and charged to a potential difference $V$. Another capacitor of capacitance $3C$ is similarly charged to a potential difference $3V$. The charging battery is then 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
