Question: Why error in simplify?

why is simplify is making errors - me or maple?

Ec := (1/2)*Kc*(2*Pi*h0/Pi(a0^2+h0^2)-2*Pi*h/Pi(a^2+h^2))^2;
2
1 / 2 Pi h0 2 Pi h \
- Kc |------------- - -----------|
2 | / 2 2\ / 2 2\|
\Pi\a0 + h0 / Pi\a + h //
simplify(%);
2
2 Kc (-h0 + h)

 

Simplify is erasing the varibles a0 and a. Is there a secret to using simplify?
