Questions  

A parallel plate capacitor is charged and the charging battery is then disconnected. If the plates of the capacitor are moved further apart by means of insulating handles. 

a
The charge on the capacitor increases.
b
The voltage across the plates increases.
c
The capacitance increases.
d
The electrostatic energy stored in the capacitor increases.

detailed solution

Correct option is B

As battery is disconnected, hence Q = constant, plates of capacitor are moved apart,Hence C decreases C∝1d.Now, V=QC and U=Q22CV= constant, C=KC0 i.e., C>C0Q=CV, i.e., Q>Q0U=12CV2, i.e.,  U
