$A$ parallel plate capacitor is made by stacking $n$ equally spaced plates connected alternately. If the capacitance between any two plates is $C$, then the resultant capacitance is:

  • A
    $C$
  • B
    $nC$
  • C
    $(n - 1)C$
  • D
    $(n + 1)C$

$A$ 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

Show that the force on each plate of a parallel plate capacitor has a magnitude equal to $\frac{1}{2} Q E$,where $Q$ is the charge on the capacitor,and $E$ is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates. Explain the origin of the factor $\frac{1}{2}$.
