Two identical capacitors $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_1$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_2$ of equal capacitance are connected as shown in the circuit. Terminals a and b of the key k are connected to charge capacitor $\displaystyle \mathrm{C}_1$ using battery of emf V volt. Now disconnecting a and b the terminals b and c are connected. Due to this, what will be the percentage loss of energy?
