Homework Statement
[/B]
I have two capacitors: 1-Farad capacitor A, and 9-Farad capacitor B.
In state (a), I charged A with 1 Coulomb of charges, as depicted in figure (a).
In state (b), I paralleled A with B, by doing this I discharged A, as depicted in figure (b).
I try to find the total energy of state (a) and state (b). From what I have calculated, the system lost 90% of its energy when it goes from (a) to (b). Where does the energy go?
