$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ is charged to a potential $V$ by a battery. Another capacitor of capacitance $2C$ is charged to a potential $2V$ by another battery. After removing the batteries,they are connected in parallel such that the positive plate of one is connected to the negative plate of the other. Calculate the final energy of the system.

In the following figure,$C_1=5 \mu F$,$C_2=C_3=10 \mu F$ and $\varepsilon=20 \text{ V}$. Initially,the switch $S$ is connected to point $A$ until capacitor $C_1$ is fully charged. Afterwards,the switch is thrown to the left side and connected to point $B$. The charge on capacitor $C_3$ after equilibrium is reached will be (in $\mu C$)

Two capacitors of $100 \mu F$ and $50 \mu F$ are connected in parallel. If the potential difference across $100 \mu F$ is $20 \text{ V}$ and across $50 \mu F$ is $40 \text{ V}$,then the common potential of the parallel combination will be (assuming same polarities of the capacitors are connected together).
