Parallel plate capacitor fully charged by a battery


Suppose a parallel plate capacitor (with capacitance C1) is fully charged (to a value Qo) by a battery. The battery (which supplies a potential difference of Vo) is then disconnected. If the plates of the capacitor are then moved closer apart (the separation distance d between the plates is halved), describe quantitatively what happens to:

1) the capacitance of the capacitor

2) the potential difference between the plates

3) the charge on the plates

4) the energy stored in the capacitor
