Supply voltage,┬аV1┬а=200 V
Electrostatic energy stored in┬аC1┬аisgiven by,
Capacitance of an unchargedcapacitor,┬а
When┬аC2┬аisconnected to the circuit, the potential acquired by it is┬аV2.
According to the conservation of charge,initial charge on capacitor┬аC1┬аis equal to thefinal charge on capacitors,┬аC1┬аand┬аC2.
Electrostatic energy for the combination of twocapacitors is given by,
Hence, amount of electrostatic energy lostby capacitor┬аC1
