Two identical capacitors have the same capacitance $C$. One of them is charged to potential $V_1$ and the other to $V_2$. The negative ends of the capacitors are connected together. When the positive ends are also connected,the decrease in energy of the combined system is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{4}C(V_1^2 - V_2^2)$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}C(V_1^2 + V_2^2)$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4}C(V_1 - V_2)^2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4}C(V_1 + V_2)^2$
