Two identical parallel plate air capacitors are connected in series to a battery of emf $V$. If one of the capacitors is inserted in a liquid of dielectric constant $K$,then the potential difference across the other capacitor will become:

  • A
    $\frac{K-1}{KV}$
  • B
    $\frac{K+1}{KV}$
  • C
    $\frac{KV}{K+1}$
  • D
    $\frac{KV}{K-1}$
