2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
hard
A capacitor of capacitance $\mathrm{C}$ and potential $\mathrm{V}$ has energy $E$. It is connected to another capacitor of capacitance $2 \mathrm{C}$ and potential $2 \mathrm{~V}$. Then the loss of energy is $\frac{x}{3} E$, where $\mathrm{x}$ is____________.
A
$45$
B
$8$
C
$2$
D
$19$
(JEE MAIN-2024)
Solution
Energy loss $=\frac{1}{2} \frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1+C_2}\left(V_1-V_2\right)^2$
$ =\frac{2}{3} \cdot E $
$ \therefore x=2$
