$A$ $60\; pF$ capacitor is fully charged by a $20\; V$ supply. It is then disconnected from the supply and connected to another uncharged $60\; pF$ capacitor in parallel. The electrostatic energy that is lost in this process by the time the charge is redistributed between them is (in $nJ$):

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $7$
  • D
    $8$

Two capacitors having capacitance $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ respectively are connected as shown in the figure. Initially,capacitor $C_{1}$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ volt by a battery. The battery is then removed and the charged capacitor $C_{1}$ is now connected to uncharged capacitor $C_{2}$ by closing the switch $S$. The amount of charge on the capacitor $C_{2}$ after equilibrium is
