A capacitor with plates separated by distance d is charged to a potential difference ΔVC. All wires and batteries are disconnect
ed, then the two plates are pulled apart (with insulated handles) to a new separation of distance 2d. Part A Does the capacitor charge Q change as the separation increases? If so, by what factor? If not, why not?
When the separation between the capacitor plates is increased to 2d, and if the battery is disconnected, the charge between the condenser plates does not change, it is the same, and this is represented by the following expression: Q'= Q
Increased food production due to improved agricultural practices, control of many diseases by modern medicine and the use of energy to make historically uninhabitable areas of Earth inhabitable are examples of things which can extend carrying capacity.
