A 100-µF Capacitor Is Charged So That the Potential Difference Between

Multiple Choice

A 10.0-µF capacitor is charged so that the potential difference between its plates is 10.0 V.
A 5.0-µF capacitor is similarly charged so that the potential difference between its plates is 5.0 V.
The two charged capacitors are then connected to each other in parallel with positive plate connected to positive plate and negative plate connected to negative plate.
-How much energy is dissipated when the two capacitors are connected together?

A) 33 $\mu$ J
B) 42 $\mu$ J
C) 63 $\mu$ J
D) 130 $\mu$ J
E) 560 $\mu$ J
