Solved: A capacitor with plates separated by distance d is

Chapter 25, Problem 25.29

(choose chapter or problem)

A capacitor with plates separated by distance d is charged to a potential difference VC. All wires and batteries are disconnected, then the two plates are pulled apart (with insulated handles) to a new separation of distance 2d. a. Does the capacitor charge Q change as the separation increases? If so, by what factor? If not, why not? b. Does the electric field strength E change as the separation increases? If so, by what factor? If not, why not? c. Does the potential difference VC change as the separation increases? If so, by what factor? If not, why not?
