a. A parallel‐plate capacitor is connected to a battery of electric potential difference V. If the plate separation is decreased, do the following quantities increase, decrease, or remain the same: (a) the capacitor’s capacitance, (b) the potential difference across the capacitor, (c) the charge on the capacitor, (d) the energy stored by the capacitor? (5 pts) b. A capacitor with a capacitance of 10 μF is charged to a potential difference of 12 V. Calculate the energy stored in the capacitor.
