Solution

The correct options are
A Final energy in 2μF capacitor is 100 μJ
B The net amount heat of dissipated in the circuit is 600 μJ
C Final energy in 4μF capacitor is 200 μJ
Before connection
Q1=2×10=20μC
Q2=4×20=80μC

Ui=122(10)2+124(20)2=900μJ

Since connected as shown

After connection,
Qnet =20+80=60μC
V=602+4=10Volt
Uf=12×6×(10)2=300μJ
|ΔU|=UfUi=600μJ

Uf for 2μF capacitor =12×2×(10)2=100μJ

Uf for 4μF capacitor =12×4×(10)2=200μJ
