उत्तर
(b) Potential difference across the capacitor
(c) Energy of the capacitor.
Because the charge always remains conserved in an isolated system, it will remain the same.
Now ,
`V = (Qd)/(∈_0A)`
Here, Q, A and d are the charge, area and distance between the plates, respectively.
Thus, as d increases, V increases.
Energy is given by `E = (qV)/2`
So , it will also increase .
Energy density u , that is , energy stored per unit volume in the electric field is given by `u = 1/2∈_0E^2`
So , u will remain constant with increase in distance between the plates .
