A capacitor of capacitance C1 = 4 μF is charged to V1 = 80V and another capacitor of capacitance C = 6 μF is charged to V2 = 30V. When they are connected together, the energy lost by the 4 μF capacitor is

a
7.8 mJ
b
4.6 mJ
c
3.2 mJ
d
2.5 mJ

detailed solution

Correct option is A

V=C1V1+C2V2C1+C2=50 V ∴ Energy lost by 4μF capacitor  =12C1V12−12C1V2=7.8 mJ
