$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plate area $A$ and separation $d$. It is charged to a potential difference $V_0$. The charging battery is disconnected and the plates are pulled apart to three times the initial separation. The work required to separate the plates is

  • A
    $\frac{3\varepsilon_0 AV_0^2}{d}$
  • B
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 AV_0^2}{2d}$
  • C
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 AV_0^2}{3d}$
  • D
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 AV_0^2}{d}$
