Expert Answer
Charge on 28 μf capacitor = C×V = 28×10-6 × 100 = 2800 μC
Energy on 28 μf capacitor = (1/2)C V 2 = (1/2) ×28×10-6×100×100 = 0.14 J
Charge on 2 μf capacitor = C×V = 2×10-6 × 200 = 400 μC
Energy on 2 μf capacitor = (1/2)C V 2 = (1/2) ×2×10-6×200×200 = 0.08 J
Total energy on both capacitor = 0.22 J
when they are connected parallel , equivalent capacitance = 28+2 = 30 μf
total charge = 2800+400 = 3200 μC
potential difference across capacitors of parallel combination = 3200 / 30 ≈ 106.7 V
Energy on capacitors connected parallel = (1/2)×30×10-6 × 106.7×106.7 = 0.171 J
Energy loss while sharing charges between capacitors = 0.22-0.171 ≈ 0.05 J
This energy diference is due to loss of energy while sharing the charges between capacitors,
because it will generate heat and also spaking takes place
