Which quantity will change on increasing the separation between the plates of a charged parallel plate capacitor ?

  1. A Energy density between the plates
  2. B Charge on the capacitor
  3. C Potential difference between the plates of the capacitor
  4. D Electric field between the plates of the capacitor
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Potential difference between the plates of the capacitor

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since \(d\) increases, \(C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}\) decreases. As \(Q\) is constant, \(V = \frac{Q}{C}\) increases. Potential difference between the plates of the capacitor
