A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery

Question:

A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery as shown in the figure. Consider two situations:

A: Key K is kept closed and plates of capacitors are moved apart using the insulating handle

B: Key K is opened and plates of capacitors are moved apart using the insulating handle

Choose the correct options

(a) In A: Q remains the same but C changes

(b) In B: V remains the same but C changes

(c) In A: V remains the same and hence Q changes

(d) In B: Q remains the same and hence V changes

Solution:

The correct answer is

(c) In A: V remains the same and hence Q changes

(d) In B: Q remains the same and hence V changes
