$A$ capacitor of capacity $C$ is connected to a battery of potential $V$ in parallel. The distance between its plates is reduced to half at once,while the battery remains connected. Then,the energy supplied by the battery to charge the capacitor to potential $V$ again is:

  • A
    $CV^2/4$
  • B
    $CV^2/2$
  • C
    $3CV^2/4$
  • D
    $CV^2$
