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 \(4\)

A capacitor of \(2~\mu\text{F}\) is charged as shown in the figure. When the switch \({S}\) is turned to position \(2,\) the percentage of its stored energy dissipated is:

       
1. \(20\%\)
2. \(75\%\)
3. \(80\%\)
4. \(0\%\)
