A capacitor is attached across a battery and charged. Then the battery is removed leaving the capacitor charged. The positive lead of the capacitor is then connected to one lead of a previously uncharged identical capacitor, and then the other lead of the charged capacitor is connected to the other lead of the second capacitor. How does the energy Eo stored in the originally charged capacitor

compare to the energy Ef stored in the connected capacitors? a. Eo < Ef b. Eo = Ef c. Eo = 2Ef d. Eo = 4Ef
