Voltage and parallel capacitor distance

[caljuice]

Assuming the long parallel capacitors to be fully charged and no resistance. So if you increase the distance between two capacitors in a circuit the voltage increases between them. But why is it when a battery is connected to the capacitors in the circuit, increasing the distance won't change the voltage between them?

V= Efield x distance so I'd think V would increase. Am I wrong to assume E is the same at both distances?

I don't think you're saying what you mean.

However, the answer is that the battery supplies a constant voltage. Look at Kirchhoff's Voltage Law.

I think I'm saying what I mean lol. It doesn't make sense?

Ah Kirchoff rule, I forgot about him. I see the voltage would then have to be equal since Vloop=0. But I still don't see why V= Efield* Distance doesn't apply in this capacitor circuit? Hope that sounds better.
