Answer:
The new voltage between the parallel plates of the capacitor is 18V, because for a constant electric field, doubling the space between the parallel capacitor plates, will also double the potential difference (voltage) between the plates.
Explanation:
ΔV = E*Δd
Where;
ΔV is the change in potential difference
Δd is the change in the distance between the parallel plates
E is the electric field potential.
Assuming a constant electric field;
when the spacing between the capacitor plates is doubled, d₂ = 2d₁
v₂ = (v₁*d₂)/(d₁)
v₂ = (v₁*2d₁)/(d₁)
v₂ = 2v₁
v₂ = 2(9) = 18 V
Therefore, for a constant electric field, doubling the space between the parallel capacitor plates, will also double the potential difference (voltage).
