A capacitor is charged by a battery. The battery is removed and another identical uncharged capacitor is connected in parallel. The total electrostatic energy of the resulting system:

1. decreases by a factor of \(2\)
2. remains the same
3. increases by a factor of \(2\)
4. increases by a factor of \(4\)
