Detailed Solution

Common potential in parallel grouping,

$V = \frac{Total charg e}{Total capacity}$

$= \frac{(2 \times 100) + (4 \times 50)}{2 + 4}$

$= \frac{200}{3} V$

Loss $= U_{i} - U_{f}$

$= 10^{- 6} [(\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 100 \times 100 + \frac{1}{2} + 4 \times 50 \times 50) - (\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times \frac{200}{3} \times \frac{200}{3})$

$= 1.7 \times 10^{- 3} J$
