$A$ series combination of $n_1$ capacitors,each of value $C_1$,is charged by a source of potential difference $6 \ V$. Another parallel combination of $n_2$ capacitors,each of value $C_2$,is charged by a source of potential difference $2 \ V$. The total energy of both combinations is the same. The value of $C_2$ in terms of $C_1$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{3 C_1}{n_1 n_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{9 n_2}{n_1} C_1$
  • C
    $\frac{3 n_2}{n_1} C_1$
  • D
    $\frac{9 C_1}{n_1 n_2}$
