$n$ identical capacitors are connected in parallel and charged to a potential $V$. Now,they are disconnected and reconnected in series. What will be the total energy and potential difference of the combination?

  • A
    Energy and potential difference remain the same.
  • B
    Energy remains the same and potential difference is $nV$.
  • C
    Energy increases $n$ times and potential difference is $nV$.
  • D
    Energy increases $n$ times and potential difference remains the same.

$A$ capacitor,$C_1 = 6 \ \mu F$ is charged to a potential difference of $V_0 = 5 \ V$ using a $5 \ V$ battery. The battery is removed and another capacitor,$C_2 = 12 \ \mu F$ is inserted in place of the battery.
