Answer:
Explanation:
i )
When it is disconnected with the battery , the charge stored in it becomes fixed . When the plate distance becomes half , its capacitance becomes twice from C to 2C . Let charge stored in it at the time of disconnection from battery be Q . Let plate separation reduces from d to d / 2
So charged stored in it will remain unchanged .
ii )
Potential difference = charge / capacitance
in the first case potential difference = Q / C
in the second case potential difference = Q / 2C
So potential difference becomes half .
iii ) electric field = potential diff / plate separation
in the first case electric field = Q / (d x C )
in the second case electric field = 2 Q / (d x 2C)
= Q / (d x C )
So electric field remains unchanged .
iv)
energy stored in first case = Q² / 2C
In the second case energy stored = Q² / 2x2C
so energy stored becomes half .
It would be 20 protons left because 1-19= 20
