$A$ condenser of capacity $C_1$ is charged to a potential $V_0$. The electrostatic energy stored in it is $U_0$. It is connected to another uncharged condenser of capacity $C_2$ in parallel. The energy dissipated in the process is

  • A
    $\frac{C_2}{C_1 + C_2} U_0$
  • B
    $\frac{C_1}{C_1 + C_2} U_0$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{C_1 - C_2}{C_1 + C_2} \right) U_0$
  • D
    $\frac{C_1 C_2}{2(C_1 + C_2)} U_0$
