1. The potential difference between the plates decreases \(K\) times.
2. The energy stored in the capacitor decreases \(K\) times.
3. The change in energy stored is \(\frac{1}{2}CV^{2}\left ( \frac{1}{K} -1\right )\)
4. The charge on the capacitor is not conserved.

A series combination of n1 capacitors, each of value C1, is charged by a source of potential difference 4V. When another parallel combination of n2 capacitors, each of value C2, is charged by a source of potential difference V, it has the same (total) energy stored in it, as the first combination has. The value of C2, in terms of C1, is then:

1. 2C1n1n2

2. 16n2n1C1

3. 2n2n1C1

4. 16C1n1n2
