A 190 pF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 110 V, and the charging battery is disconnected. The capacitor is then connected in parallel with a second (initially uncharged) capacitor. If the measured potential difference drops to 100 V, what is the capacitance of this second capacitor? (pF)
