Two capacitors having capacitance C1{C}_{1}C1​ and C2{C}_{2}C2​ respectively are connected as shown in figure. Initially, capacitor C1{C}_{1}C1​ is charged to a potential difference VVV volt by a battery. The battery is then removed and the charged capacitor C1{C}_{1}C1​ is now connected to uncharged capacitor C2{C}_{2}C2​ by closing the switch SSS. The amount of charge on the capacitor C2{C}_{2}C2​, after equilibrium, is
