    A parallel plate air capacitor is charged to a potential difference of F 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)  decreases                     

    B)  does not change

    C)  becomes zero                

    D)  increases

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Charge remains constant after charging. If the battery is removed after charging, then the charge stored in the capacitor remains constant. q = constant New capacitance \[C'=\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d'}\] As \[d'>d.\]Hence, C' < C Hence, potential difference between the plates \[V'=\frac{q}{C'}\] \[V'\alpha =\frac{1}{C'}\] As capacitance decreases, so potential difference increases.
