Consider two uncharged capacitors of equal capacitance $200 \text{ pF}$. One of them is charged by a $100 \text{ V}$ supply and disconnected. Now,this capacitor is connected to the uncharged capacitor. The amount of electrostatic energy lost in the process is:

  • A
    $0.5 \text{ J}$
  • B
    $1.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ J}$
  • C
    $0.5 \times 10^{-6} \text{ J}$
  • D
    $1.0 \text{ J}$
