Question

In proceudre 5: you connect the plates to a 100 V difference in potential (electrostatic voltage source)b) Now, suppose now you disconnect the electrostatic voltage source and then slowly separate the plates.

What will happen to ?V, the difference in potential between the plates, and E, the magnitude of the elelctric field between the plates?
both ?V and E decrease
?V increases, E decreases
?V decreases, E increases
?V decreases, E remains the same
?V increases, E remains the same
?V remains the same, E increases
both ?V and E increase
?V remains the same, E decreases
both ?V and E remain the same


ii. What will happen to Q, the charge on the plates, and C, the capacitance of the system?
Q decreases, C increases
Q remains the same, C decreases
both Q and C remain the same
both Q and C increase
Q decreases, C remains the same
Q increases, C decreases
Q increases, C remains the same
both Q and C decrease
Q remains the same, C increases
