Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Question:

A parallel plate capacitor is charges by being connected to a battery and is kept connected to the battery.  The electric field between the plates is E1.  Now the separation between the plates is doubled and the electric field between the plates is E2 Then E1/E2 is

Options:

1/4      

 1

1/2  

 2

Correct Answer:

 2

Explanation:

$E_1 = \frac{V}{d}$

$E_2 = \frac{V}{2d}$

$ \frac{E_1}{E_2} = 2$
