A parallel plate air capacitor is charged to a potential difference of V volts. After disconnecting the charging battery the distance between the plates of the capacitor is increased using an insulating handle. Asa result the potential difference between the plates
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor
When battery is disconnected and the distance between the plates of the capacitor is increased then capacitance decreases and charge remains constant.
Since Charge 
Capacitance 
Potential difference
Potential difference increases.
