$A$ capacitor of capacity $C_1$ is charged to a potential of $V_0$. After disconnecting it from the battery,it is connected to a neutral capacitor of capacity $C_2$ as shown in the adjoining figure. The ratio of the energy of the system before and after the connection of switch $S$ will be

  • A
    $\frac{C_1 + C_2}{C_1}$
  • B
    $\frac{C_1}{C_1 + C_2}$
  • C
