  1. Answer:

    Capacitance of a charged capacitor, C

    =4μF=4×10

    −6

    F

    Supply voltage, V

    =200V

    Electrostatic energy stored in C1 is given by,

    E

    Capacitance of an uncharged capacitor, C

    2

    =2μF=2×10

    −6

    F

    When C

    2

    is connected to the circuit, the potential acquired by it is V

    2

    .

    According to the conservation of charge, initial charge on capacitor C

    1

    is equal to the final charge on capacitors, C

    1

    and C

    2

    ∴V

    Electrostatic energy for the combination of two capacitors is given by,

    E

    Hence, amount of electrostatic energy lost by capacitor C

    1

    =E

    =0.08−0.0533=0.0267

    =2.67×10

    −2

    J

    I will not say u to like or make me brilliant

    because it is based on my answer
