Two parallel plate air capacitors of the same capacity $C$ are connected in series to a battery of emf $E$. Then one of the capacitors is completely filled with a dielectric material of constant $K$. The change in the effective capacitance of the series combination is

  • A
    $\frac{C}{2}\left[\frac{K-1}{K+1}\right]$
  • B
    $\frac{C}{4}\left[\frac{K-1}{K+1}\right]$
  • C
    $\frac{C}{2}\left[\frac{K+1}{K-1}\right]$
  • D
    $\frac{C}{2}\left[\frac{K-1}{K+1}\right]^2$
