The initial energy of capacitors is
W1=2C1U12=22⋅10−6⋅(50)2=0.0025J,W2=2C2U22=23⋅10−6⋅(100)2=0.015J.
The total initial energy is 0.0175J.
When capacitors are connected in parallel, their voltage is equal and the total capacitance is C = 2+3=5 microfarad. The total initial charge is Q=Q1+Q2=C1U1+C2U2=4⋅10−4C.
Therefore, the voltage will be U=C1+C2Q=5⋅10−64⋅10−4=80V.
The total energy will be W=2C1U2+2C2U2=2(C1+C2)U2=25⋅10−6⋅802=0.016J. The loss of energy is 0.0015 J.
