Consider a parallel-plate capacitor with a plate area of A = 8.50 cm². The separation between the plates is di = 3.00 mm (the space between the plates is filled with air). The plates of the capacitor are charged by a 6.00 V battery, i.e., the potential difference between the plates is V₂ = 6.00 V. The plates are then disconnected from the battery and pulled apart (without discharge) to a sepa- ration of df = 8.00 mm. In the following, neglecting any fringing effects.
