उत्तर

Given : 

`C_1 = 5  "uF" and V_1 = 24 V` 

`therefore q_1 = C_1V_1 = 5 xx 24 = 120  "uC"`

and 

`C_2 = 6  "uF" and V_2 = 12  V`

`therefore q_2 = C_2V_2 = 6 xx 12 = 72  "uC"`

(a)

Energy stored in the first capacitor :

`U_1 = 1/2 C_1V_1^2`

= `1440  "J" = 1.44  "mJ"`

Energy stored in the second capacitor :

`U_2 = 1/2 C_1V_2^2`

= `432  "J" = 0.432  "mJ"`

(b) The capacitors are connected to each other in such a way that the positive plate of the first capacitor is connected to the negative plate of the second capacitor and vice versa.

∴ Net change in the system, `Q_"net" = 120 - 72 = 48`

Now, let V be the common potential of the two capacitors.
From the conservation of charge before and after connecting, we get

`V = Q_"net"/((C_1 + C_2))`

= `48/((5+6))`

= 4.36 V

New charges :

`q_1^' = C_1V = 5 xx 4.36 = 21.8  "uC"`

and

`q_2^' = C_2V = 6 xx 4.36 = 26.2  "uC"`

(c)

Given : 

`U_1 = 1/2 C_1V^2`

and

`U_2 = 1/2 C_2V^2`

`therefore U_f = 1/2 V_2 (C_1 + C_2)`

= `1/2 (4.36)^2  (5+6)`

= `1/2 xx 19 xx 11`

= `104.5 xx 10^-6  "J"`

= `0.1045  "mJ"`

`"But"  U_i = 1.44 + 0.433 = 1.873`

Loss of Energy : 

`ΔU = 1.873 - 0.1045`

= 1.7678

= `1.77  "mJ"`

(d) The energy is dissipated as heat.
