$A$ parallel plate air capacitor has capacity $C$ farad, potential $V$ volt, and energy $E$ joule. When the gap between the plates is completely filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $K$, what happens to the potential $V$ and energy $E$?

  • A
    $V$ increases, $E$ decreases.
  • B
    $V$ decreases, $E$ increases.
  • C
    Both $V$ and $E$ increase.
  • D
    Both $V$ and $E$ decrease.
