If an enhancer is placed on one plasmid and its corresponding promoter is placed on a second

Question:

If an enhancer is placed on one plasmid and its corresponding promoter is placed on a second plasmid that is catenated (linked) with the first, initiation is almost as efficient as when the enhancer and promoter are on the same plasmid. However, initiation does not occur when the two plasmids are unlinked. Explain.
