A capacitor is charged until its stored energy is 3 J and the charging battery is removed. Another uncharged capacitor is then connected across it and we find that the charge distributes equally. Final value of total energy stored in the electric fields is :

a
3 J
b
2.5 J
c
2 J
d
1.5 J

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Initial total energy = Q22C=3 JFinal stored energy = Q222C+Q222C=Q24C=1.5 J
