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

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.

In the given figure if \(V = 4~\text{volt}\) each plate of the capacitor has a surface area of\(10^{-2}~\text{m}^2\) and the plates are \(0.1\times10^{-3}~\text{m}\)apart, then the number of excess electrons on the negative plate is:


1. \(5.15\times 10^{9}\)
2. \(2.21\times 10^{10}\)
3. \(3.33\times 10^{9}\)
4. \(2.21\times 10^{9}\)

A parallel plate capacitor is given equal and opposite charges. The electrostatic force per unit area between the plates:
 
1. depends on the square of surface charge density.
2. depends on the separation between the plates.
3. depends directly on the plate area of each plate.
4. depends directly on the dielectric constant of the medium.
