NOT HOME WORK QUESTION!
If a capacitor is attached to a battery, initially the separation between the capacitor plates is D then the distance is doubled(2D). The voltage should remain the same because it is still attached to a battery. C=E0A/D so the capacitance decrease by factor of 2. my question is that since the capacitance decreased, the voltage or the charge must have decreased. so did the charge decrease or increase?
