Two capacitors of equal capacitance ( C_1 = C_2 ) are shown in the figure. Initially, while the switch S is open, one of the capacitors is uncharged and the other carries charge Q0. The energy stored in the charged capacitor is U0. Sometimes after the switch is colsed, the capacitors C_1 and C_2 carry charges Q_1 and Q_2, respectively, the voltages across the capacitors are V_1 and V_2 , and the energies stored in the capacitors are U_1 and U_2 .
