A 10.0-µF capacitor is charged so that the potential difference between its plates is 10.0 V.
A 5.0-µF capacitor is similarly charged so that the potential difference between its plates is 5.0 V.
The two charged capacitors are then connected to each other in parallel with positive plate connected to positive plate and negative plate connected to negative plate.
-What is the final potential difference across the plates of the capacitors when they are connected in parallel?

The figure shows a simple RC circuit consisting of a 10.0-µF capacitor in series with a resistor. Initially, the switch is open as suggested in the figure. The capacitor has been charged so that the potential difference between its plates is 100.0 V. At t = 0 s, the switch is closed. The capacitor discharges exponentially so that 2.0 s after the switch is closed, the potential difference between the capacitor plates is 37 V. In other words, in 2.0 s the potential difference between the capacitor plates is reduced to 37 % of its original value.
