Suppose a battery is connected to a parallel-plate capacitor with (infinitely) large plates and capacitance C, and the battery charges it up to a potential difference AV. Then the battery is disconnected and the spacing between the capacitor plates is doubled. The spacing is still smaller than the diameter of the plates.
