$A$ parallel plate air capacitor is charged to a potential difference of $V \text{ volts}$. After disconnecting the charging battery,the distance between the plates of the capacitor is increased using an insulating handle. As a result,the potential difference between the plates

  • A
    increases
  • B
    decreases
  • C
    does not change
  • D
    becomes zero

$A$ parallel plate capacitor has circular plates of $10\, cm$ radius separated by an air-gap of $1\, mm$. It is charged by connecting the plates to a $100\, V$ battery. The change in energy stored in the capacitor when the plates are moved to a distance of $1\, cm$ while remaining connected to the battery is:
