A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery as shown. Consider two situations: A: Key K is kept closed and plates of capacitors are moved apart using insulating handle. B: Key K is opened and plates of capacitors are moved apart using insulating handle. Which of the following are correct? (a) In A : Q remains same but C changes. (b) In B : V remains same but C changes. (c) In A : V remains same and hence Q changes. (d) In B : Q remains same and hence V changes. |
All are correct (b), (c) (b), (d) (c), (d) |
(c), (d) |
In case of A, Potential remains same as connected to battery, Now C changes as the distance change ,so the charge changes. In case of B, charge remains same as not connected to battery, Now C changes as the distance change ,so the potential difference changes |
