Question

(c) The plates are moved farther apart with each plate maintaining the same net charge. In a coherent paragraph-length response, apply concepts of work and energy to explain how the electric potential difference between the plates changes, if at all, when the plates are moved farther apart.

Answer 1

Answer:

Energy is applied on the charge to do work.

Explanation:

Work is only be done when one charge moves against the electric field of anther charge that require huge amount of energy because both have same charge and the force of repulsion occurs between them. Work is defined as the product of force and displacement so from this equation we can conclude that work is done when a force is applied on an object and it moves in the direction in which force is applied. If the force or energy is removed from the charge which is present in the electric field of another charge so it moves away from that charge and the work is also be done..
