Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Question:

A capacitor of capacitance $C_1$ is charged upto V volt and then connected to an uncharged capacitor of capacity $C_2$. The final potential difference across each will be:

Options:

$\frac{V}{\left(C_1+C_2\right)}$

$V$

$\frac{C_1 V}{\left(C_1+C_2\right)}$

$\frac{V}{2}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{C_1 V}{\left(C_1+C_2\right)}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{C_1 V}{\left(C_1+C_2\right)}$
