A series combination of $n_1$ capacitors, each of value $C_1$ is charged by a source of potential difference $4\, V.$ When another parallel combination of $n_2$ capacitors, each of value $C_2,$ is charged by a source of potential difference $V$, it has the same (total) energy stored in it, as the first combination has. The value of $C_2,$ in terms of $C_1$ is then
