$A$ capacitor is charged with a battery and the energy stored is $U$. After disconnecting the battery,another capacitor of the same capacity is connected in parallel to the first capacitor. Then the energy stored in each capacitor is

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

Two capacitors of capacitances $3 \mu F$ and $6 \mu F$ are charged to a potential of $12 V$ each. They are now connected to each other,with the positive plate of each joined to the negative plate of the other. The potential difference across each will be $volt$.

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
