A capacitor C is fully charged with voltage  V0. After disconnecting the voltage source, it is connected in parallel with another uncharged capacitor of capacitance C2 . The energy loss in the process after the charge is distributed between the two capacitors is:

a
12CV02
b
13CV02
c
16CV02
d
14CV02

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Heat loss =12C1C2C1+C2V02=12×C3×V02=16CV02
