Aparallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery. what happens to the stored energy if the plate separation is doubled while the capacitor remains connected to the battery?

(a) it remains the same
(b) it is doubles
(c) it decreases by a factor of 2
(d) it decreases by a factor of 4
(e) it increases by a factor of

(c)  As 'd' becomes doubled, energy decreases by the factor of 2

Explanation:

Energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor is given by:

As capacitor remains connected to the battery so V remains constant. As can be seen from (1) that energy is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates so as 'd' becomes doubled, energy decreases by the factor of 2.

the arctic is a region of the planet, north of the arctic circle, and includes the arctic ocean, greenland, baffin island, other smaller northern islands, and the far northern parts of europe, russia (siberia), alaska and canada.

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
