Question

A capacitor with parallel plates and capacitance C0 has plates of area A with a separation between them equal to d. When connected to a battery with a voltage V0, it has a Q0 charge on its plates. It is then disconnected from the battery and its plates separate at 2d without discharging. After the plates were separated by 2d, the magnitude of the charge on the plates and the potential difference between them are:

p a. Qo. Vo
а.
o b.

e. 2Q0, 2Vo

Expert Solution

Step 1

Area of the capacitor pale is A

Initial Distance between the plate is d

Initial charge, $Q_{0}$

Initial potential difference, $V_{0}$
