A parallel plate capacitor of capacity ${C_0}$ is charged to a potential ${V_0}$
$(i)$ The energy stored in the capacitor when the battery is disconnected and the separation is doubled ${E_1}$
$(ii)$ The energy stored in the capacitor when the charging battery is kept connected and the separation between the capacitor plates is doubled is ${E_2}.$
Then ${E_1}/{E_2}$ value is

(a) Let $E = \frac{1}{2}{C_0}{V_0}^2\,{\rm{then}}\,{\rm{ }}{E_{\rm{1}}} = 2E$ and ${E_2} = \frac{E}{2}$
So $\frac{{{E_1}}}{{{E_2}}} = \frac{4}{1}$
So $\frac{{{E_1}}}{{{E_2}}} = \frac{4}{1}$
