Initially

Q_0=CV_0

\text { Now battery is disconnected and a capacitor of } \frac{C}{2} \text { is connected to } C \text { then }

\begin{aligned} &\text { Total charge }=\mathbf{Q}_{0}\\ &C_{e q .}=\frac{3 C}{2} \end{aligned}

\begin{array}{l} \therefore \Delta E=\frac{Q_{0}^{2}}{2 C}-\frac{2 Q_{0}^{2}}{3 C \times 2} \Rightarrow \Delta E=\frac{Q_{0}^{2}}{2 C}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \\ \begin{aligned} \Delta E &=\frac{1}{6} \times 220 \times 220 \times 5 \times 10^{-6} \approx 4 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~J} \\ \therefore \quad X &=4 \end{aligned} \end{array}
