Homework Statement
The distance between two parallel plates is increased while
they remain hooked to a battery. The energy stored in the
capacitor will:
AND
The distance between two parallel plates is doubled while
they remain hooked to a battery. The battery voltage also is
doubled. The energy stored in the capacitor will:
Homework Equations
Q = VC
U2 = (Q2)/(2C) = 1/2C(V2)
The Attempt at a Solution
As the distance is increased, the capacitance will decrease. Since energy is directly related to capacitance, the energy will also decrease? I'm not sure if I'm right.
