Two circuits $(a)$ and $(b)$ have charged capacitors with capacitances and charges as shown in the figures. The switches are initially open. On closing the switches, what happens to the charge flow?

  • A
    No charge flows in $(a)$ but charge flows from $R$ to $L$ in $(b)$
  • B
    Charges flow from $L$ to $R$ in both $(a)$ and $(b)$
  • C
    Charges flow from $R$ to $L$ in $(a)$ and from $L$ to $R$ in $(b)$
  • D
    No charge flows in $(a)$ but charge flows from $L$ to $R$ in $(b)$
