Problem

Two capacitors with capacitance values C1=2000±10 pFC_1 = 2000 \pm 10 \text{ pF} and C2=3000±15 pFC_2 = 3000 \pm 15 \text{ pF} are connected in series. The voltage applied across this combination is V=5.00±0.02 VV = 5.00 \pm 0.02 \text{ V}. The percentage error in the calculation of the energy stored in this combination of capacitors is [Adv. 2020]
