Two parallel plate capacitors A and B ha...

Two parallel plate capacitors A and B having capacitance of `1muF` and `5muF` are charged separately to the same potential of 100 volt. Now the positive plate of A is connected to the negative plate of B and the negative plate of A to the positive plate of B. Find the final charges on each capacitor and the total loss of electrical energy in the capacitors.
