Homework Statement
What happens if the capacitor plates are pulled farther apart?
Homework Equations
C=Q/V=EoA/d
The Attempt at a Solution
The answer is that the charge stays the same, and the potential difference increases, which results in increased PE.
I saw multiple explanations elsewhere. But their explanations are based on equations. Can some explain using electrons and forces?
Sometimes textbook uses battery potential difference to refer to the V in the equation Q/V and sometimes use the potential difference within a capacitor like when explaining dielectric. Which potential difference does V in the equation Q/V refers to?
