The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are maintained with a constant voltage by a battery as they are pulled apart. how is the strength of the electric field affected during this process? the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are maintained with a constant voltage by a battery as they are pulled apart. how is the strength of the electric field affected during this process? the strength of the electric field remains constant. the strength of the electric field decreases during this process. the electric field between the plates becomes zero. the electric field between the plates becomes infinite. the strength of the electric field increases during this process. submitrequest answer provide feedback next
