A condenser of capacity ${C_1}$ is charged to a potential ${V_0}$. The electrostatic energy stored in it is ${U_0}$. It is connected to another uncharged condenser of capacity ${C_2}$ in parallel. The energy dissipated in the process is

  • A

    $\frac{{{C_2}}}{{{C_1} + {C_2}}}{U_0}$

  • B

    $\frac{{{C_1}}}{{{C_1} + {C_2}}}{U_0}$

  • C

    $\left( {\frac{{{C_1} - {C_2}}}{{{C_1} + {C_2}}}} \right){U_0}$

  • D

    $\frac{{{C_1}{C_2}}}{{2({C_1} + {C_2})}}{U_0}$
