A capacitor of capacity ${C_1}$ is charged to the potential of ${V_o}$. On disconnecting with the battery, it is connected with a capacitor of capacity ${C_2}$ as shown in the adjoining figure. The ratio of energies before and after the connection of switch $S$ will be
  • A$({C_1} + {C_2})/{C_1}$
  • B${C_1}/({C_1} + {C_2})$
  • C${C_1}{C_2}$
  • D${C_1}/{C_2}$

    Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

    Assertion $A$: The potential ( $V$ ) at any axial point, at $2 \mathrm{~m}$ distance ( $r$ ) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector $\vec{P}$ of magnitude, $4 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{m}$, is $\pm 9 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~V}$.

    (Take $\frac{1}{4 \pi \in_0}=9 \times 10^9 \mathrm{Sl}$ units)

    Reason $R$: $V= \pm \frac{2 P}{4 \pi \in_0 r^2}$, where $r$ is the distance of any axial point, situated at $2 \mathrm{~m}$ from the centre of the dipole.

    In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
