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