Two identical condensers are joined as shown in the figure. When the switch $S$ is closed,the total energy of the system is $U_1$. If the switch is opened and both the condensers are filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K = 3$,then the energy of the system becomes $U_2$. The value of $\frac{U_1}{U_2}$ is

  • A
    $3: 1$
  • B
    $5: 1$
  • C
    $3: 5$
  • D
    $5: 3$
