Question

8) The electric field between square the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor has magnitude E. The potential across the plates is maintained with constant voltage by a battery as they are pulled apart to twice their original separation, which is small compared to the dimensions of the plates. The magnitude of the electric field between the plates is now equal to A) 4E. B) 2E. C) E. D) E/2.

Step 1

2) When the plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation, the new separation is 2d. 3) The potential difference across the plates is maintained constant by the battery, so V remains the same. 4) The new electric field E' can be calculated using Show more…
