A capacitor of capacitance C is charged ...

A capacitor of capacitance C is charged fully by connecting it to a battery of emf B. It is then disconnected from the battery. If the separation between the plates of the capacitor is now doubled, how will the following change ?
Field strength between the plates.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The field strength between the plates is,
`E = (sigma)/(in_0)= (Q)/(Ain_0)`
Hence, we seen that the field strength is idependent of the distance between the plates. So, the field strength also remains the same.
