C 1 = 1 μ F V 1 = 100 V ? U 1 = 1 2 × 1 × 10 - 6 × 100 2 = 5 × 10 - 3 J  

C 2 = 1 μ F , common potential V = C 1 V 1 C 1 C 2 = 100 2 = 50 V

Final electrostatic energy stored in both the capacitors.

= 1 2 C 1 + C 2 V 2 = 1 2 × 2 × 50 2 × 10 - 6

= 2.5 × 10 - 3 J

(Explanation can be elaborate)

For a region of constant electric potential

(1) The electric field may be uniform

(2) The electric field may be zero

(3) There can be no charge inside the region
