Two capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2 = 2C_1$ are connected in a circuit with a switch $S$ between them as shown in the figure. Initially,the switch is open and $C_1$ holds charge $Q$. The switch is closed. At steady state,the charge on each capacitor will be

  • A
    $Q, 2Q$
  • B
    $Q/3, 2Q/3$
  • C
    $3Q/2, 3Q$
  • D
    $2Q/3, 4Q/3$
