Two identical capacitors, each of capacitance \(C\), are connected in series and are charged by means of an ideal battery of emf \(E\). They are disconnected and reconnected in parallel and connected to the same battery. During this reconnection, the positive terminals of the capacitors are connected to the positive terminal of the battery and their negative terminals are similarly connected together. Let, the work done by the battery during the first connection be \(W_1\), and during the second be \(W_2\). Then,
1. \(W_1=W_2\)
2. \(2W_1 =W_2\)
3. \(W_1 = 2W_2\)
4. \(4W_1 = W_2\)

A \(12 ~\mu \text{F}\) capacitor is charged by means of a \(6~\text{V}\) battery and the charged capacitor and the battery are connected in series so that their combined potential difference is twice as much. When a second unknown capacitor (initially uncharged) is connected across this combination, the first capacitor is observed to lose half of its initial charge.
The capacitance of the unknown capacitor is:
1. \(4 ~\mu \text{F}\)
2. \(6~ \mu \text{F}\)
