Question

A capacitor with plates separated by distance dd is charged to a potential difference ΔVCΔVC. All wires and batteries are disconnected, then the two plates are pulled apart (with insulated handles) to a new separation of distance 2d2d.

Does the potential difference ΔVCΔVC change as the separation increases? If so, by what factor? If not, why not?
Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right.

The potential difference of the capacitor is proportional to the electric field strength inside it and
the separation of its plates. That is, if the electric field strength remains constant and
the separation increases twice, the potential difference AVc
