$A$ parallel plate capacitor having plate area $A$ and separation $d$ is charged to a potential difference $V$. The charging battery is disconnected and the plates are pulled apart to four times the initial separation. The work required to increase the distance between plates is:

  • A
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A V^2}{4 d}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 \varepsilon_0 A V^2}{4 d}$
  • C
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A V^2}{3 d}$
  • D
    $\frac{3 \varepsilon_0 A V^2}{2 d}$
