Answer #1

The capacitor is made of two plates which are separated by small distance and filled with a medium.

When a capacitor is connected to the power source or battery, one plates is positive and other is negative. So a potential difference is created between the plates. Thus the medium, generally air, gets ionised due to the potential difference. Ions gets attracted by opposite charged plates and traval towards it.

Thus ions move between the plates and circuit gets completed. And current passes in the circuit through capacitor.

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.
