yes man that is because the second capacitor gets short circuited.
in this you can tell this by that the two ends of the capacitors are connected by a conducting wire .
I need help with HC VERMA PART 2 Q46.
Initially, the capacitance is C/2
when S is closed, Why will the charge flow through the battery?
Is it that the second capacitor gets short circuited? How do we find out whether two plates of a given capacitor have same potential (short circuit)
yes man that is because the second capacitor gets short circuited.

initially capacitance is C/2 after closing S potential in both ends of the second capacitor is same so no charge in the second capacitor..so aster closing eq capacitance is C. so c E/2 amount of charge will flow after closing..........
