Verified by ExpertsB
Let the charge on capacitor be 
.
Energy stored : 
After disconnecting the battery and connecting other identical capacitor parallel to it.
Now, charge will flow in such a way that total charge is 
and potential difference across both capacitor is same.
Potential difference across each capacitor. 
Energy in each capacitor 
Energy stored in each capacitance 
.
