$A$ capacitor of capacitance $20 \mu F$ is charged by a battery of potential $24.3 \ V$. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery and is connected to another uncharged capacitor of capacitance $10 \mu F$. After some time,the second capacitor is disconnected,discharged fully,and is again connected to the first capacitor. If the process is repeated several times,the charge on the first capacitor at the end of the fifth process is . . . . . . $\mu C$.

If the capacitor connected across $AB$ is charged to $Q$ and then the switch is shifted to position $2$,calculate the heat released after that.

$A$ conducting body $1$ has some initial charge $Q$,and its capacitance is $C$. There are two other conducting bodies,$2$ and $3$,having capacitances $C_2 = 2C$ and $C_3 \rightarrow \infty$. Bodies $2$ and $3$ are initially uncharged. Body $2$ is touched with body $1$. Then,body $2$ is removed from body $1$ and touched with body $3$,and then removed. This process is repeated $N$ times. The charge on body $1$ at the end must be:

$A$ $600\; pF$ capacitor is charged by a $200\; V$ supply. It is then disconnected from the supply and is connected to another uncharged $600\; pF$ capacitor. How much electrostatic energy is lost in the process?
