Problem 74GP
CE The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor have constant charges of +Q and-Q. Do the following quantities increase, decrease, or remain the same as the separation of the plates is increased? (a) The electric field between the plates; (b) the potential difference between the plates; (c) the capacitance; (d) the energy stored in the capacitor.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
a)
Here we have to explain whether the electric field between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, will increase, decrease or remain same, if we increase the distance between the plates.
