A battery of `10V` is connected to a capacitor of capacity `0. lF`. The battery is now removed and this capacitor is connected to a second uncharged capacitor. If the charges are distributed equally on these two capacitors, find the total energy stored in the two capacitors. Find the ratio of final energy to initial energy stored in capacitors.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(5)/(2)J.(U_("initial"))/(U_("final"))=(5)/(2.5)=2`
