A parallel plate capacitor of capacitances C is connected to a battery to charge it to a potential V. Similarly, another capacitor of capacitance 2C is charged to a potential 2V. Now the batteries are removed, and the two capacitors are connected in parallel by joining the positive plate to one with the negative plate of the other. Find out the final energy of the system.
