Detailed Solution
Given Capacity of capacitor =C1,C2Potential V1=V0We know that Common potential V=C1V1+C2V2C1+C2Common potential, V=C1V0+0C1+C2=C1V0C1+C2We know potential energy stored in capacitor, U=12CV2Now UiUf=12C1V0212C1+C2V2=C1+C2C1Therefore, the correct answer is (A)
A capacitor of capacity C1 is charged to the potential of V0 . On disconnecting from the battery, it is connected with a capacitor of capacity C2 as shown in the adjoining figure. The ratio of energies of system of capacitors before and after the connection of switch ‘S’ will be
