Two parallel plate air capacitors of same capacity $C$ are connected in parallel to a battery of e.m.f. $E$. Then,one of the capacitors is completely filled with a dielectric material of constant $K$. The change in the effective capacity of the parallel combination is:

  • A
    $\frac{C}{(K-1)}$
  • B
    $\frac{KC}{K-1}$
  • C
    $KC+1$
  • D
    $C(K-1)$
