Question

A capacitor C is fully charged with voltage V 0 . After disconnecting the voltage source, it is connected in parallel with another uncharged capacitor of capacitance C 2 . The energy loss in the process after the charge is distributed between the two capacitors is :

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Heat Loss is given by, H = C 1 C 2 2 C 1 + C 2 V 1 - V 2 2 V 1 is initial voltage of capacitor C = V 0 V 2 is the initial voltage of capacitor C 2 = 0 = c × c 2 2 c + c 2 V 0 - 0 2 = C 6 V 0 2 H = 1 6 C 0 V 0 2
