Two identical metal plates are given charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ $(q_2 < q_1)$ respectively. They are brought close together to form a parallel plate capacitor with capacitance $C$. The potential difference $V$ between the plates is

  • A
    $\frac{q_1 - q_2}{C}$
  • B
    $\frac{q_1 + q_2}{C}$
  • C
    $\frac{q_1 - q_2}{2C}$
  • D
    $\frac{q_1 + q_2}{2C}$
