$A$ $10\,\mu F$ capacitor is fully charged to a potential difference of $50\, V$. After removing the source voltage, it is connected to an uncharged capacitor in parallel. Now, the potential difference across them becomes $20\, V$. The capacitance of the second capacitor is $\dots \mu F$.

$A$ capacitor of capacitance $900\,\mu F$ is charged by a $100\,V$ battery. The capacitor is disconnected from the battery and connected to another uncharged identical capacitor such that one plate of the uncharged capacitor is connected to the positive plate and the other plate of the uncharged capacitor is connected to the negative plate of the charged capacitor. The loss of energy in this process is measured as $x \times 10^{-2}\,J$. The value of $x$ is $..............$

$A$ conducting body $1$ has some initial charge $Q$,and its capacitance is $C$. There are two other conducting bodies,$2$ and $3$,having capacitances $C_2 = 2C$ and $C_3 \rightarrow \infty$. Bodies $2$ and $3$ are initially uncharged. Body $2$ is touched with body $1$. Then,body $2$ is removed from body $1$ and touched with body $3$,and then removed. This process is repeated $N$ times. The charge on body $1$ at the end must be:
