The separation between the plates of a charged parallel plate capacitor is increased. Which of the following quantities will change?
(A) charge on the capacitor plates
(B) potential difference across the capacitor
(C) energy of the capacitor
(D) energy density between the plates of the capacitor
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (B) and (D) only
  2. B (A), (C) and (D) only
  3. C (B) and (C) only
  4. D (B), (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (B) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Assume charge \(Q\) is constant. Capacitance: \(C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}\). As \(d \uparrow\), \(C \downarrow\). Potential difference: \(V = \frac{Q}{C}\). As \(Q\) is constant and \(C \downarrow\), \(V \uparrow\). (B) changes. Energy: \(U = \frac{Q^2}{2C}\). As \(Q\) is…
