उत्तर

Let 'q' be the charge on the charged capacitor. Energy stored in it is

`U=q^2/(2C)`

When another similar uncharged capacitor is connected, the net capacitance of the system is C' = 2C

The charge on the system is constant. So, the energy stored in the system now is

`U'=q^2/(2(C"))`

`=>U'=q^2/(2(2C))`

`=>U'=q^2/(4C)`

Thus, the required ratio is

`(U')/U=(q^2/(4C))/(q^2/(2C))`

`=>(U')/U=1/2`
