A battery chargers a parallel plate capacitor fully and then is removed. The plates are then slowly pulled apart. What happened to the potential difference better the plates as they are being seperated

Step 1
Step 1: Assume the battery has been removed, so the charge Q on the capacitor plates is fixed (no external circuit to exchange charge). Show more…

A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it to a $12-V$ battery. The battery is then disconnected from the capacitor. The plates are then pulled apart so the spacing between the plates is increased. What is the effect (a) on the electric field between the plates? (b) on the potential difference between the plates?

You charge a capacitor and then remove it from the battery. The capacitor consists of large movable plates with air between them. You pull the plates a bit farther apart. What happens to the stored energy? SSM
