Answer:
D) Q/2
Explanation:
The relationship between charge Q, capacitance C and voltage drop V across a capacitor is
(1)
In the first part of the problem, we have that the charge stored on the capacitor is Q, when the voltage supplied is V. The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by
where is the vacuum permittivity, A is the area of the plates, d is the separation between the plates.
Later, the voltage of the battery is kept constant, V, while the separation between the plates of the capacitor is doubled: . The capacitance becomes
And therefore, the new charge stored on the capacitor will be
