Two capacitors, $C_1$ and $C_2$ have their capacitances in the ratio $1:2$. $V_s$ and $V_p$ are the potential differences applied across the series and parallel combination of $C_1$ and $C_2$ respectively, so that the energy stored in the two cases becomes same. The ratio $V_s$ to $V_p$ is

  • A
    $\sqrt{2} : 3$
  • B
    $3 : \sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $2 : \sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{3} : 2$
