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:
