A parallel plate capacitor has plates with equal and opposite charges ±Q , which are initially separated by a distance d . The capacitor is not connected to a battery. Then, the plates are moved farther apart so they are now separated by a distance 2d and also a dielectric with dielectric constant κ=2 that fills the entire space in the gap is inserted. What happens to the stored energy U and the potential difference between the plates ΔV=V+−V− after...

A parallel-plate capacitor is made of two square plates 25 cm on a side and 1.0 mm apart. The capacitor is connected to a 50.0-V battery. With the battery still connected, the plates are pulled apart to a separation of 2.00 mm. What are the energies stored in the capacitor before and after the plates are pulled farther apart? Why does the energy decrease even though work is done in separating the plates.
