Two identical capacitors \(C_{1}\) and \(C_{2}\) of equal capacitance are connected as shown in the circuit. Terminals \(a\) and \(b\) of the key \(k\) are connected to charge capacitor \(C_{1}\) using a battery of emf \(V\) volt. Now disconnecting \(a\) and \(b\) terminals, terminals \(b\) and \(c\) are connected. Due to this, what will be the percentage loss of energy?
