Two flat capacitors of capacities C and 2C are connected in series with a 24V battery, until they are fully charged. Then the battery is removed and they are connected in parallel. How much does the energy in the capacitor of smaller capacity change (in %) compared to its initial energy?


a) decreases 55.5%
b) increases 12%
c) decreases 89%
d) increases 5%
e) decreases 48%
