$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacitance '$C$' is connected to a battery and charged to a potential '$V$'. Another capacitor of capacitance '$3C$' is charged to a potential '$3V$'. The charging battery is then disconnected and both the capacitors are connected in parallel to each other such that the positive terminal of one is connected to the negative terminal of the other. The final energy of the configuration is (in $CV^2$)

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $6.5$
  • C
    $8.0$
  • D
