In order to change the voltage across a capacitor a current through the capacitor is required. If the capacitor is big or the current small, the voltage change will be slow. In this case, if the voltage of one of the nodes changes the capacitor will act as a voltage source and the same change can be seen on the second node.

Ground and neutral line should be at the same potential, because from a big perspective the metrical line is somewhere connected to the ground, but because this happens at huge distances, some parasitic effect creates a little difference in potential between our local ground and the neutral line. This difference is typically about 6V.

The question is raised about whether the charge stored in the capacitor will change, to which the response is that the capacitance does change.

Learn MoreIn open circuit, no charge flows. If we connect both the capacitor plates it makes closed circuit, charge flows in the circuit, as a result charges on the plates neutralizes to zero. If only +ve plate of the capacitor is only connected to ground there is no closed circuit. no charges flows from the ground.
From this we may see that earth (ground+atmosphere) is a capacitor itself. It was experimentally checked that the ground has negative charge and so it is the source of electrons. So in your question you plug one capacitor to the half of the other one with huge charge. The answer is - no it will NOT discharge COMPLETELY.
Both the plates are initially charged and then one is earthed.Effective intensity outside the capacitor system is zero.There will be no effect on some uncharged body external to the system. A charged external body may redistribute the charges on the plates and the plates again will produce a secondary effect on the said external body.
When we charge a capacitor using a battery and then remove the battery, the plates of capacitor becomes charged. One holds positive charge and the other one gets equal negative charge. o. k. ? Now if we attach a wire to the positive plate and connect it to the ground, will the electrons from ground climb on the positive plate and make it neutral ?
This has contributed towards the accumulation of positive charge on the left plate.There was a temporary flow of current which stopped due to the potential on the left plate getting equal to zero.Since the positive plate is connected to the ground ,the ground+plate system has an infinite capacitance.
Now connect the wire joining C and D capacitor to ground and now record the potential difference at A, you will find it 7.5 and at positive plate of D it will be 0, and at negative plate of D it will be -2.5. This happens because negative charge from ground climbs on the positive plate of capacitor D and makes it neutral.
