If two capacitors taken at different potential are joined together , then discharge takes plane in the from of sparking . In this case some electrical energy is lost which is converted into other forms of energy like heat , light , sound energy etc. Though the lost electrical energy is converted in to other forms of energy , therefore the total energy of the system always remains constant . Hence it also follows the principle of conservation of energy .
