उत्तर

Before the connection of switch S,
Initial energy `U_i = 1/2C_1V_0^2 + 1/2C_2O^2 = 1/2C_1V_0^2`
After the connection of switch S,
common potential V = `(C_1V_1 + C_2V_2)/(C_1 + C_2) = (C_1V_0)/(C_1 + C_2)`
Final energy = `U_f = 1/2(C_1 + C_2) (C_1V_0)^2/(C_1 + C_2)^2 = 1/2 (C_1^2V_0^2)/((C_1 + C_2))`
`U_f : U_i = C_1/((C_1 + C_2))`
