    How Does Plate Separation Affect Voltage in a Parallel-Plate Capacitor?

    Hi everyone. Can someone do this tricky problem? I have to find an expression that relates the plate separation x to the potential difference between two parallel-plate capacitor. The charge on the top and bottom plates are +Q and -Q respectively. (Area = A, Voltage = V) The only hint I am...
