A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance 5 µF has plates of area 100 cm with separation 10 mm between them. When it is connected to a battery of voltage 12 V, it has charge of magnitude 60 µC on its plates. It is then disconnected from the battery and the plates are pulled apart to a separation 20 mm without discharging them. What are the magnitude of the charge on the plates ? 1) 60 µC 2) 20 µC 3) None 4) 60 C 5) 12 V 6.
