Detailed Solution

In case of isolated capacitor, charge on it remains same, while capacitance decreases with increase in separation between the plates, As ,q=VC and so V will increase. The electric field between the plates will not charge and so energy density, 120E2remains the change. Also U = Q22C. Since C decreases , U increases .
