The circuit shows two capacitors $A$ and $B$ of capacitances $C$ and $2C$ respectively. When they are fully charged,the cell is removed and the capacitors are connected with their plates of opposite polarities touching each other. Then:
$(a)$ Charge on $A$ is $\frac{4CE}{9}$
$(b)$ Charge on $B$ is $\frac{8CE}{9}$
$(c)$ Loss of energy in this process is $\frac{CE^2}{3}$
The correct statement$(s)$ is/are:

Two capacitors of capacitances $C$ and $2C$ are charged to potential differences $V$ and $2V$,respectively. These are then connected in parallel in such a manner that the positive terminal of one is connected to the negative terminal of the other. The final energy of this configuration is $.....CV^2$.

In the circuit shown,$C_1 = 6\,\mu F, C_2 = 3 \,\mu F$ and battery $B = 20\,V$. The switch $S_1$ is first closed. It is then opened and afterwards $S_2$ is closed. What is the charge (in $\mu C$) finally on $C_2$?

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance $C$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ by connecting it to a battery. Another capacitor of capacitance $2C$ is charged to a potential difference $2V$ by connecting it to another battery. Now,the charging batteries are removed and the capacitors are connected in parallel such that the positive plate of one is connected to the negative plate of the other and the negative plate of the first is connected to the positive plate of the second. Find the final energy of this configuration.
