  • A
    Potential difference between the plates is changed
  • B
    Charge flows from the battery to the capacitor
  • C
    Electric field between the plates increases
  • D
    Energy stored in the capacitor decreases

The figure shows two identical parallel plate capacitors connected to a battery and a closed switch $S$. Now,the switch is opened and a dielectric material with dielectric constant $K = 3$ is inserted into the free space between the plates of both capacitors. What is the ratio of the total electrostatic energy stored in both capacitors before and after the insertion of the dielectric?
