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 isulating handle. As a result the potential difference between the plates

Options

A. Decreases
B. Increases
C. Becomes zero
D. Does not change

Answer

B

Explanation

Since, `V = Ed implies V prop d`
{As `E=sigma/(epsilon_0) ` in constant}
