A capacitor of capacity $C$ is connected with a battery of potential $V$ in parallel. The distance between its plates is reduced to half at once, assuming that the charge remains the same. Then to charge the capacitance upto the potential $V$ again, the energy given by the battery will be
  • A$C{V^2}/4$
  • B$C{V^2}/2$
  • C$3C{V^2}/4$
  • D$C{V^2}$
