A 100-µF Capacitor Is Charged So That the Potential Difference Between

question 43

Multiple Choice

A 10.0-µF capacitor is charged so that the potential difference between its plates is 10.0 V.
A 5.0-µF capacitor is similarly charged so that the potential difference between its plates is 5.0 V.

-How much energy is dissipated when the two capacitors are connected together?

• A)33 \(\mu\)J
• B)42 \(\mu\)J
• C)63 \(\mu\)J
• D)130 \(\mu\)J
• E)560 \(\mu\)J
