Two capacitors of $100 \mu F$ and $50 \mu F$ are connected in parallel. If the potential difference across $100 \mu F$ is $20 \text{ V}$ and across $50 \mu F$ is $40 \text{ V}$,then the common potential of the parallel combination will be (assuming same polarities of the capacitors are connected together).

Two capacitors having capacitance $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ respectively are connected as shown in the figure. Initially,capacitor $C_{1}$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ volt by a battery. The battery is then removed and the charged capacitor $C_{1}$ is now connected to uncharged capacitor $C_{2}$ by closing the switch $S$. The amount of charge on the capacitor $C_{2}$ after equilibrium is

Consider two uncharged capacitors of equal capacitance $200 \text{ pF}$. One of them is charged by a $100 \text{ V}$ supply and disconnected. Now, this capacitor is connected to the uncharged capacitor. The amount of electrostatic energy lost in the process is:

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?

$A$ capacitor $C$ is fully charged with voltage $V_{0}$. After disconnecting the voltage source,it is connected in parallel with another uncharged capacitor of capacitance $\frac{C}{2}$. The energy loss in the process after the charge is distributed between the two capacitors is $.........$ $CV_{0}^{2}$.
