4. You charge a parallel-plate capacitor by connecting it to a battery after which you disconnect the battery. You then start slowly separating the plates of the capacitor, while holding them with rubber gloves. List all correct answers in the space below describing the behavior of the capacitor and its characteristics after you start separating the plates. a) the charges on each plate of the capacitor stay the same b) the potential difference between the plates of the capacitor stays the same c) the energy stored in the capacitor stays the same d) the capacitance at any given moment does not depend on the voltage of the battery used to initially charge the capacitor e) the charges on the metal plates depend on the battery's voltage f) the overall charge of the capacitor is zero g) the force between the plates diminishes for a real capacitor (one that is NOT made with infinitely large plates)
