Consider the circuit shown where and . Capacitor is first charged by closing the switch . Switch is then opened, and the charged capacitor is connected to the uncharged capacitor by closing .




Important Questions on Capacitor and Capacitance
In the circuit shown in the figure, initially key is closed and key is open. Then, is opened and is closed (order is important). [Take and as charges on and and and as voltage, respectively.] Then,

Two capacitors and are charged to the same potential , but with opposite polarity, as shown in the figure. The switches and are then closed.

Two capacitors of equal capacitance are as shown in the figure. Initially, while the switch is open (as shown) one of the capacitors is uncharged and the other carries charge . The energy stored in the charged capacitor is . Sometime after the switch is closed, the capacitors and carry charges and , respectively. The energies stored in the capacitors are and respectively. Which of the following expression is correct?
