A parallel-plate capacitor is charged to a potential Vo, charge Qo and then disconnected from the battery. The separation of the plates is then halved. What happens to (a) the charge on the plates? (b) the electric field? (c) the energy stored in the electric field? (d) the potential? (e) How much work did you do in halving the distance between the plates?
