Two identical parallel plate capacitors are placed in series and connected to a constant voltage source of $V_0 \, V$. If one of the capacitors is completely immersed in a liquid with dielectric constant $K$,the potential difference between the plates of the other capacitor will change to:

  • A
    $\left( \frac{K+1}{K} \right) V_0$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{K}{K+1} \right) V_0$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{K+1}{2K} \right) V_0$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{2K}{K+1} \right) V_0$
