I was studying capacitors when I came across these three questions:
Please refer the jpg with the topic.
Note: I wrote the quoted text before I realized I could post the pic of questions … but I had written all this anyway and didn’t wanted it to go to waste … so I posed it anyway!
Answer to 1st=
1st= 0
2st= 7.2 mJ
3st= 1.77 mJ
Now…
How am I supposed to know how to find the heat generated? What basis do I use… well my questions are insane I know... but just because I have no idea what to do!
Please help me find a way to find heat generated … not only for these cases but also for any other random case!

1st: A parallel plate capacitor is connected with a battery and after it is fully charged the separation b/w the plates is increased, --- of course capacitance decrease and charge flows backwards --- I am supposed to find heat generated in the process …
2nd: A capacitor is charged to some voltage V and then disconnected from it and connected to another battery of voltage V’ (<V) … so this time the current flows backwards … question is again to calculate the heat.
3rd: this time a capacitor is connected to a battery, removed after long time, connected to a capacitor of smaller capacitance! And again I need to calculate the heat generated!
