A battery of 200 V charges a capacitor to \( 10 \times 10^{-6} \, C \). Now the battery is disconnected, and the plate separation is doubled. The potential of the capacitor will be

  1. A 400 V
  2. B 200 V
  3. C 100 V
  4. D 0 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 400 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( Q_2 = Q_1 \) \( C_2 = C_1 / 2 \) \( V_2 = Q_2 / C_2 = Q_1 / (C_1 / 2) = 2 \times (Q_1 / C_1) = 2 V_1 \) \( V_2 = 2 \times 200 \, V = 400 \, V \)
