NEET 2024 Physics Effect of Plate Separation Multiple Correct Question
Type: Multiple Correct-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
If the plates of a parallel plate capacitor connected to a battery are moved close to each other, then
A. the charge stored in it, increases.
B. the energy stored in it, decreases.
C. its capacitance increases.
D. the ratio of charge to its potential remains the same.
E. the product of charge and voltage increases.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A
B, D and E only
B
A, B and C only
C
A, B and E only
D
A, C and E only
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
When the plates are moved closer, the capacitance increases due to the reduced distance between the plates. The charge stored remains constant as it is connected to a battery, but the energy stored decreases because energy is inversely proportional to capacitance.
