For a capacitor at steady state q=CV and U=21CV2 Since C1 and C2 are connected in parallel, V1=V2. Also from graph q1<q2 $\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \quad C_1 V_1 < C_2 V_2 \
& \text { i.e. } C_1 < C_2 \text { or } C_2>C_1 \
& \qquad \frac{U_1}{U_2}=\frac{C_1 V_1^2}{C_2 V_2^2}=\frac{C_1}{C_2} < 1
\end{aligned}orU_1 < U_2orU_2>U_1$
