A parallel plate capacitor has circular plates of $10\, cm$ radius separated by an air-gap of $1\, mm$. It is charged by connecting the plates to a $100\, volt$ battery. Then the change in energy stored in the capacitor when the plates are moved to a distance of $1\, cm$ and the plates are maintained in connection with the battery, is

A $20\,F$ capacitor is charged to $5\,V$ and isolated. It is then connected in parallel with an uncharged $30\,F$ capacitor. The decrease in the energy of the system will be.......$J$

Effective capacitance of parallel combination of two capacitors $\mathrm{C}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{C}_{2}$ is $10\; \mu \mathrm{F}$. When these capacitors are individually connected to a voltage source of $1\; \mathrm{V},$ the energy stored in the capacitor $\mathrm{C}_{2}$ is $4$ times that of $\mathrm{C}_{1}$. If these capacitors are connected in series, their effective capacitance will be
