Hello Buddy,

◆ Answer -

¶ V = (C1V1+C2V2)/(C1+C2)

¶ Q1 = C1(C1V1+C2V2)/(C1+C2)

¶ Q2 = C2(C1V1+C2V2)/(C1+C2)

¶ E = (C1V1+C2V2)^2 /2(C1+C2)

◆ Explaination -

When capacitors are separated, total charge on capacitors

Qi = C1V1 + C2V2

When capacitors are connected in parallel with voltage V, total charge is

Qf = (C1+C2)V

By law of conservation of momentum,

Qi = Qf

C1V1 + C2V2 = (C1+C2)V

V = (C1V1+C2V2)/(C1+C2)

Charge on capacitor 1 is -

Q1 = C1V

Q1 = C1(C1V1+C2V2)/(C1+C2)

Charge on capacitor 2 is -

Q2 = C2V

Q2 = C2(C1V1+C2V2)/(C1+C2)

Energy in the system is calculated by-

E = 1/2 (C1+C2)V^2

E = (C1V1+C2V2)^2 /2(C1+C2)
