Following operations can be performed on a capacitor: $X$ - connect the capacitor to a battery of $emf$ $E$. $Y$ - disconnect the battery. $Z$ - reconnect the battery with polarity reversed. $W$ - insert a dielectric slab of dielectric constant $K$ in the capacitor. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    The electric field in the capacitor after the action $XW$ is the same as that after $WX$.
  • B
    The charge appearing on the capacitor is greater after the action $XWY$ than after the action $XYW$.
  • C
    The electric energy stored in the capacitor is greater after the action $WXY$ than after the action $XYW$.
  • D
