Question:

Capacitors C1 and C2 are connected in parallel by a resistor and two switches as shown in Figure. Capacitor C1 is initially charged to a voltage V0, and capacitor C2 is uncharged. The switches S are then closed.

(a) What are the final charges on C1 and C2?

(b) Compare the initial and final stored energies of the system.

(c) What caused the decrease in the capacitor-storedenergy?
