Vedclass · Answer

(C) Initial energy of the system is $U_i = \frac{1}{2}CV_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}CV_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}C(V_1^2 + V_2^2)$.When connected with like plates together,the common potential is $V = \frac{Q_1 + Q_2}{C_1 + C_2} = \frac{CV_1 + CV_2}{C + C} = \frac{V_1 + V_2}{2}$.The final energy of the system is $U_f = \frac{1}{2}(2C)V^2 = C \left(\frac{V_1 + V_2}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{C}{4}(V_1 + V_2)^2$.The decrease in energy is $\Delta U = U_i - U_f = \frac{1}{2}C(V_1^2 + V_2^2) - \frac{C}{4}(V_1 + V_2)^2$.$\Delta U = \frac{C}{4} [2V_1^2 + 2V_2^2 - (V_1^2 + V_2^2 + 2V_1V_2)] = \frac{C}{4}(V_1^2 + V_2^2 - 2V_1V_2) = \frac{C}{4}(V_1 - V_2)^2$.
