A sphere of capacitance $\displaystyle 100$ pF is charged to a potential of $\displaystyle 100$ V. Another identical uncharged metal sphere is brought in contact with the charged sphere, then the change in the total energy stored on these spheres, when they touch is $\displaystyle \alpha \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~J}$. The value of $\displaystyle \alpha$ is $\displaystyle \_\_\_\_$.
(combined capacitance of spheres is $\displaystyle 200$ pF )
