A capacitor of capacitance C_1 is charged to a potential V_1 , while another capacitor of capacitance C_2 is charged to a potential difference V_2 . The capacitors are now disconnected from their respective charging batteries and connected in parallel to each other Explain the reason for the difference of energy in parallel combination in comparison to the total energy before they are connected . |
| Answer» SOLUTION :FINAL energy `U_f` of the combinationis less than the total energy `U_i` of the combination before they are connected . It is on ACCOUNT of loss of electric charge due to amount of work DONE for transfer of charge between the capacitors on connecting them TOGETHER in parallel . | |
