Two identical capacitors are connected in parallel across a potential difference $V$. After they are fully charged,the positive plate of the first capacitor is connected to the negative plate of the second,and the negative plate of the first is connected to the positive plate of the other. The loss of energy will be

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} C V^2$
  • B
    $C V^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4} C V^2$
  • D
    $0$
