A series combination of \(n_1\) capacitors, each of value \(C_1\), is charged by a source of potential difference \(4\) V. When another parallel combination of \(n_2\) capacitors, each of value \(C_2\), is charged by a source of potential difference \(V\), it has the same (total) energy stored in it as the first combination has.
