$A$ capacitor of capacity $C_1$ is charged to a potential of $V_0$. After disconnecting it from the battery,it is connected to a capacitor of capacity $C_2$ as shown in the figure. The ratio of the total energy before and after the connection of switch $S$ is:

  • A
    $(C_1 + C_2) / C_1$
  • B
    $C_1 / (C_1 + C_2)$
  • C
    $C_1 C_2$
  • D
    $C_1 / C_2$
