The capacitance between a pair of identical conducting parallel plates \((A~\&~B),\) placed close together, is \(20\) nF (Fig I). An identical third conducting plate \((C)\) is placed parallel to the other two (Fig. II), so that they form an equidistant system of parallel plates. Plates \(A,C\) are connected by a conducting wire. The capacitance between \(A,B\) is now:
1. \(10\) nF 2. \(20\) nF

Two identical capacitors, each of capacitance \(C\), are connected in series and are charged by means of an ideal battery of emf \(E\). They are disconnected and reconnected in parallel and connected to the same battery. During this reconnection, the positive terminals of the capacitors are connected to the positive terminal of the battery and their negative terminals are similarly connected together. Let, the work done by the battery during the first connection be \(W_1\), and during the second be \(W_2\). Then,
1. \(W_1=W_2\)
2. \(2W_1 =W_2\)
3. \(W_1 = 2W_2\)
4. \(4W_1 = W_2\)
