The question in textbook:-
A 4uF capacitor is charged by connecting it to 200V supply.It is then connected to an uncharged 2uF capacitor.How much electrostatic energy of the first capacitor is lost in form of heat and electromagnetic radiation?
My question is that why the energy must be lost if the wires in the circuit are assumed to be of 0 resistance.
The energy must simply be divided according to the capacitance of both the capacitor and remain conserved in the system.
