Following operations can be performed on a capacitor: `X` - connect the capacitor to a battery of emf `epsilon`. `Y` - disconnect the battery. `Z` - reconnect the battery with polarity reversed. `W` - insert a dielectric slab in the capacitor.

A

In XYZ (perform X, then Y, then Z) the stored electric energy remains unchanged and no thermal energy is developed

B

The charge appearing on the capacitor is greater after the action XWY than after the action XYW.

C

The electric energy stored in the capacitor is greater after the action WXY than after the action XYW.

D

The electric field in the capacitor after the action XW is the same as that after WX
