The plates of a plane capacitor are drawn apart keeping them connected to a bettery. Next, the same plates are drawn apart from the same initial condition keeping the battery disconnected, In which case is more work done?

As `q=CV , C` decreases in both the cases.
i. In the first case. `V` remains the same, hence, `q` decreases, due to which force of attraction will dectease.
ii. But in the second case, q will remain the same, hence, force of attraction remains the same So more work will be done in the second case.
