Two identical capacitors C₁ and C₂ of equal capacitance are connected as shown in the circuit. Terminals a and b of the key k are connected to charge capacitor C₁ using battery of emf V volt. Now disconnecting a and b the terminals b and c are connected. Due to this, what will be the percentage loss of energy?
- 25%
- 75%
- 0%
- 50%
Correct answer: 50%
Solution
When two identical capacitors are connected, charge redistributes, and some energy is lost as heat due to conservation of charge and energy.
