The energy of a parallel plate capacitor when connected to a battery is $E$. With the battery still in connection,if the plates of the capacitor are separated so that the distance between them is twice the original distance,then the electrostatic energy becomes

  • A
    $2\ E$
  • B
    $\frac{E}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{E}{2}$
  • D
    $4\ E$
