A series combination of $n_1$ capacitors, each of value $C_1$, is charged by a source of potential difference $4V$. 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
