  • A
    In both $(a)$ and $(b)$,charge flows from $L$ to $R$.
  • B
    In $(a)$,no charge flows,but in $(b)$,charge flows from $R$ to $L$.
  • C
    In $(a)$,no charge flows,but in $(b)$,charge flows from $L$ to $R$.
  • D
    In $(a)$,charge flows from $R$ to $L$,and in $(b)$,charge flows from $L$ to $R$.
