Question

The two capacitors are now connected to each other by wires as shown. How will the charge redistribute itself, if at all? The charges will flow so that the charge on C1 will become equal to the charge on C2. The charges will flow so that the energy stored in C1 will become equal to the energy stored in C2 The charges will flow so that the potential difference across C1 will become the same as the potential difference across C2. No charges will flow. The charge on the capacitors will remain what it was before they were connected.
