Two identical parallel plate capacitors are connected in series to a battery of $100\,V$. $A$ dielectric slab of dielectric constant $4.0$ is inserted between the plates of the second capacitor. The potential difference across the capacitors will now be respectively:

  • A
    $50\,V, 50\,V$
  • B
    $80\,V, 20\,V$
  • C
    $20\,V, 80\,V$
  • D
    $75\,V, 25\,V$
