Question: An isolated capacitor of unknown capacitance has been charged to a potential difference of 100 V. When the charged capacitor is disconnected from the battery

An isolated capacitor of unknown capacitance has been charged to a potential difference of 100 V. When the charged capacitor is disconnected from the battery and then connected in parallel to an uncharged 10.0-µF capacitor, the voltage across the combination is measured to be 30.0 V. Calculate the unknown capacitance.
