The capacities of two conductors are $C_1$ and $C_2$ and their respective potentials are $V_1$ and $V_2$. If they are connected by a thin wire,then the loss of energy will be given by

  • A
    $\frac{C_1 C_2 (V_1 + V_2)}{2(C_1 + C_2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{C_1 C_2 (V_1 - V_2)}{2(C_1 + C_2)}$
  • C
    $\frac{C_1 C_2 (V_1 - V_2)^2}{2(C_1 + C_2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{(C_1 + C_2)(V_1 - V_2)}{C_1 C_2}$
