Increasing B should affect the pattern by spreading the interference pattern out, ie increasing the distance between the fringes. Increasing or decreasing A shouldn't affect the pattern, unless the gun is brought so close to the slits that the waves hitting the slits can no longer be...

Thanks for the correction! What you say makes sense now that I think about it more. In a DC circuit with a battery, a capacitor, and a switch and no resistor, the time constant would be roughly zero meaning the capacitor would charge almost immediately.

I always understood electrical energy as the potential energy of a charge sitting in an electrical field, and not energy radiated by an accelerating charge. So the only way to transfer electrical energy through a wire is to move the charges (electrons) themselves through the wire. Capacitors...
