Two parallel plate capacitors of capacitances $20 \mu F$ and $30 \mu F$ are charged to potentials of $30 \, V$ and $20 \, V$ respectively. If the similarly charged plates are connected together,then the common potential difference will be: (in $, V$)

Using a battery,a $100 \ pF$ capacitor is charged to $60 \ V$ and then the battery is removed. After that,a second uncharged capacitor is connected to the first capacitor in parallel. If the final voltage across the second capacitor is $20 \ V$,its capacitance is: (in $pF$)

The energy stored in the capacitor shown in figure $(a)$ is $4.5 \times 10^{-6} \ J$. If the battery is disconnected and the capacitor is connected to another uncharged capacitor of $900 \ pF$ as shown in figure $(b)$,what will be the total energy of the system?

Two identical capacitors $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ of equal capacitance are connected as shown in the circuit. Terminals $a$ and $b$ of the key $k$ are connected to charge capacitor $C_{1}$ using a battery of $emf$ $V$ volt. Now,disconnecting $a$ and $b$,the terminals $b$ and $c$ are connected. Due to this,what will be the percentage loss of energy?
