The charges on the four surfaces of two isolated plates with capacitance $C$ are $Q_1$,$Q_2$,$Q_3$,and $Q_4$ as shown in the figure. The potential difference between the plates is:

  • A
    $\frac{Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 + Q_4}{2C}$
  • B
    $\frac{Q_2 + Q_3}{2C}$
  • C
    $\frac{Q_2 - Q_3}{2C}$
  • D
    $\frac{Q_1 + Q_4}{2C}$
