The capacities of two conductors are `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` and their respectively potentials are `V_(1)` and `V_(2)`. If they are connected by a thin wire, then the loss of energy will be given by

A

`(C_(1)C_(2)V_(1)+V_(2))/(2(C_(1)+C_(2))`

B

`(C_(1)C_(2)V_(1)-V_(2))/(2(C_(1)+C_(2))`

C

`(C_(1)C_(2)V_(1)-V_(2))^(2)/(2(C_(1)+C_(2))`

D
