If $Q$ is the charge on the plates of a capacitor of capacitance $C$,$V$ is the potential difference between the plates,$A$ is the area of each plate,and $d$ is the distance between the plates,then the force of attraction between the plates is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{Q^2}{\varepsilon_0 A} \right)$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{C V^2}{d} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{C V^2}{A \varepsilon_0} \right)$
  • D
    Both $A$ and $B$
