Question
Physics Question on electrostatic potential and capacitance
A parallel plate air capacitor is charged to a potential difference of V volts. After disconnecting the charging battery the distance between the plates of the capacitor is increased using an insulating handle. As a result the potential difference between the plates
A
increases
B
decreases
C
does not change
D
becomes zero
Answer
increases
Explanation
Solution
According to question
Q= constant and C↓ therefore V↑
