उत्तर
The electric field in the region between the plates depends on the change given to the conducting plates,
For capacitor 'A' of capacitance C, having voltage V, the charge on it is given by Q = CV.
On connecting this capacitor A with capacitor B changes get distributed.
The total electrostatic energy stored in A is given by
`U_A = 1/2CV^2 = 1/2 Q^2/C` .........(i)
Since capacitor B is connected across capacitor A.
∴ `C_"net" = C_A + C_B`
= C + 2C
= 3C
∴ Total electrostatic energy in A and B is given by
`U_"net" = 1/2 Q^2/C_"net"`
= `1/2(Q^2/(3C))` ....(since total change Q remains constant)
= `1/3(1/2 Q^2/C)`
= `1/3U_A` .....[By equation (i)]
`U_"net"/U_A = 1/3`
