$A$ capacitor $C$ is charged to a potential difference $V$ and the battery is disconnected. Now,if the capacitor plates are brought closer slowly by some distance,then:

  • A
    some positive work is done by an external agent
  • B
    energy of the capacitor will decrease
  • C
    energy of the capacitor will increase
  • D
