Two parallel plate capacitors with capacitances $C$ and $2C$ are connected in parallel. They are charged to a potential difference $V$. Now,if the battery is disconnected and a dielectric of dielectric constant $K$ is inserted between the plates of the capacitor with capacitance $C$,find the potential difference across each capacitor.

  • A
    $\frac{V}{K + 2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2V}{K + 2}$
  • C
    $\frac{3V}{K + 2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 + K}{3V}$
