The separation between the plates is d₂ = 3.00 mm (the space between the plates is filled with air). The plates of the capacitor are charged by a 6.00 V battery, i.e., the potential difference between the plates is V₂ = 6.00 V. The plates are then disconnected from the battery and pulled apart (without discharge) to a sepa- ration of df = 8.00 mm. In the following, neglecting any fringing effects. (a) Will the new potential difference between the plates be larger, smaller, or the same compared to the initial potential difference of V₂ = 6.00 V? Explain.
