A capacitor is charged by using a battery which is then disconnected. A dielectric slab is then slipped between the plates, which results in

  • A

    Reduction of charge on the plates and increase of potential difference across the plates

  • B

    Increase in the potential difference across the plate, reduction in stored energy, but no change in the charge on the plates

  • C

    Decrease in the potential difference across the plates, reduction in the stored energy, but no change in the charge on the plates

  • D

    None of the above

Two identical parallel plate capacitors, of capacitance $C$ each, have plates of area $A$, separated by a distance $d$. The space between the plates of the two capacitors, is filled with three dielectrics, of equal thickness and dielectric constants $K_1$ , $K_2$ and $K_3$ . The first capacitor is filled as shown in fig. $I$, and the second one is filled as shown in fig. $II$. If these two modified capacitors are charged by the same potential $V$, the ratio of the energy stored in the two, would be ( $E_1$ refers to capacitor $(I)$ and $E_2$ to capacitor $(II)$)
