A parallel plate air capacitor has a capacity of \(C\), the distance of separation between plates is \(d\) and potential difference \(V\) is applied between the plates. The force of attraction between the plates of the parallel plate air capacitor is:

1. \(\frac{C^{2} V^{2}}{2 d}\) 2. \(\frac{C V^{2}}{2 d}\)
3. \(\frac{C V^{2}}{d}\) 4. \(\frac{C^{2} V^{2}}{2 d^{2}}\)

The electrostatic force between the metal plates of an isolated parallel plate capacitor \(C\) having a charge \(Q\) and area \(A\) is:

1. independent of the distance between the plates.
2. linearly proportional to the distance between the plates.
3. proportional to the square root of the distance between the plates.
4. inversely proportional to the distance between the plates.

The distance between the two plates of a parallel plate capacitor is doubled, and the area of each plate is halved. If \(C\) is its initial capacitance, its final capacitance is equal to:
1. \(2C\) 2. \(\dfrac{C}{2}\)
3. \(4C\) 4. \(\dfrac{C}{4}\)

A parallel plate air capacitor is charged to potential difference \(V\). After disconnecting the battery, the distance between the plates of the capacitor is increased using an insulating handle. As a result the potential difference between the plates:

1. decreases. 2. increases.
3. becomes zero. 4. does not change.
