    Energy dissipated in circuit with two capacitors

    Thanks for your reply! And for the welcome. :) I still haven't figured it out. The initial energy is given by u=\frac{1}{2}*C*V^2 Which gives me 62.5 millijoule. Then, I thought... Once the circuit has reached equilibrium: Since capacitors in series carry the same...

    Energy dissipated in circuit with two capacitors

    Homework Statement A 2.0-microfarad capacitor is charged to 250 V. It is then connected to an uncharged 1.0 microfarad capacitor through a 2.2 ohm resistor, by closing switch S in the figure . Find the total energy dissipated in the resistor as the circuit comes to equilibrium. Hint...
