A capacitor with stored energy 4.0J is ...

A capacitor with stored energy `4.0J` is connected with an identical capacitor with no electric field in between . Find the total energy stored in the two capacitors .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Stored energy of capacitor `C_1 = 4.0 J`
when they connected, the charge shared
` q_1 = q_2`
So that the energy should divided the total energy stored in each of the two capacitance is 2 J.
