An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor with plate separation d and plate area A is connected to a battery that applies a voltage V0 between plates. With the battery left connected, the plates are moved apart to a distance of 10d. Determine by what factor each of the following quantities changes: (a) V0; (b) C; (c) E; (d) D; (e) Q; (f ) ρS; (g) WE. Repeat the exercise for the case in which the battery is disconnected before the plates are separated.
