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. |
A parallel plate air capacitor has capacitance \(C,\) 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. | \(\frac{C^2V^2}{2d}\) | 2. | \(\frac{CV^2}{2d}\) |
| 3. | \(\frac{CV^2}{d}\) | 4. | \(\frac{C^2V^2}{2d^2}\) |
