The energy stored in a capacitor is $U$. If an uncharged capacitor of the same capacity is connected in parallel with it,then the energy stored in each capacitor is:

  • A
    $\frac{U}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{U}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{U}{2}$
  • D
    $U$

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
