Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Let C1 = 2μF and C2 = 7 μF
  • When the first capacitor is connected to battery it charges up and stores charge between the plates. Even after disconnected from the battery the charge remains same.
  • when the charged capacitor is  connected to uncharged capacitor, then charge flows from region of high voltage to low voltage up to equilibrium.
  • at equilibrium both capacitors are at same potential.
