Question

A battery charges a parallel-plate capacitor fully and then is removed. The plates are then slowly pulled apart. What happens to the potential difference between the plates as they are being separated?

Answer 1

The potential difference increases

Step-by-step explanation:

from the relation
`E= (V)/(d)`

where E= electric field (force per coulomb)

V= voltage

d= distance

Hence the voltage is going to be V= E×d.

Therefore this means that increasing the distance increases the voltage.
