A capacitor with plates separated by distance do is charged to a voltage difference ΔVC. All wires and batteries are disconnected, then the two plates are pushed together (with insulated handles so charges cannot flow) to a new separation distance that was half the original distance ( ). Which of the following quantities will be doubled as a result of this new separation distance? a. The capacitance of the capacitor, C. b. The energy stored in the capacitor, U. c....
