A parallel plate capacitor is charged. If the plates are pulled apart

A parallel plate capacitor is connected across a battery. Now, keeping the battery connected, a dielectric slab is inserted between the plates. In the process,

A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it to a battery. The battery is disconnected and the plates of the capacitor are pulled apart to make the separation between the plates twice. Again the capacitor is connected to the battery (with same polarity) then the potential difference between the plates increases when the plates are pulled apart (yes or not)

A parallel plate air capacitor is connected to a battery. If plates of the capacitor are pulled farther apart, then which of the following statements is/are correct ?

A parallel plate capacitor is charged by a battery. The battery is removed and a thick glass slab is inserted between the plates. Now,

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery. A metal sheet of negligible thickness is placed between the plates. The sheet remains parallel to the plates of the capacitor.

A parallel plate air capacitor is connected to a battery. If the plates of the capacitor are pulled farther apart, then state whether the following statements are true or false. a. Strength of the electric field inside the capacitor remains unchanged, if the battery is disconnected before pulling the plates. b. During the process, work is done by the external force applied to pull the plates irrespective of whether the battery is disconnected or not. c. Strain energy in the capacitor decreases if the battery remains connected. .
