Problem

Two identical capacitors, each of capacitance

4\,\mu\text{F}

, are charged separately to

100\,\text{V}

and

50\,\text{V}

respectively. After disconnecting them from their sources, they are connected in parallel with like plates joined together. What is the loss of energy in the system due to this connection? a)

0.01375\,\text{J}

0.0025\,\text{J}

0.0050\,\text{J}

0.0225\,\text{J}
