A series combination of n₁ capacitors each of value C1 is charged by a source of potential difference 4V. When another parallel combination of n₂ capacitors, each of value C₂, is charged by a source of potential difference V, it has the same (total) energy stored in it as the first combination has. The value of C2 in terms of C1 is then - VgyanHub
