$A$ circuit has self-inductance $L$ and carries a current $I$. To prevent sparking when the circuit is switched off,a capacitor which can withstand potential difference $V$ is used. The least capacitance is

  • A
    $\frac{IV}{L}$
  • B
    $L\left(\frac{V}{I}\right)^2$
  • C
    $L\left(\frac{I}{V}\right)^2$
  • D
    $\frac{LI}{V}$
