A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C is charged using a battery. If the plate separation distance is increased while the battery is connected, the .. electric field inside the capacitor No enough information to decide a O Decrease b O Remains the same .c O Increase .d O

T or F? a. For a parallel plate capacitor, the capacitance depends on the area of the plates and on the separation distance between the plates, it does not depend on the material the plates are made of. b. If a conductor is placed in an electric field, and is in electrostatic equilibrium, the electric field lines just inside the conductor will be parallel to its surface.
