$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plates with area $A$ and separation $d$. $A$ battery charges the plates to a potential difference $V_0$. The battery is then disconnected and a dielectric slab of thickness $d$ is introduced. The ratio of energy stored in the capacitor before and after the slab is introduced is

  • A
    $K$
  • B
    $1/K$
  • C
    $A/(d^2K)$
  • D
    $d^2K/A$
