A parallel plate air capacitor is charged to a potential difference of V volts. After disconnecting the charging 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. does not change.

3. becomes zero.

4. increases.
