Question
What happens to the energy stored in a capacitor, if the plates of a charged capacitor are drawn apart, the battery remaining connected?
Solution
The plates of the capacitor is still connected to the battery, hence moving the plates further apart decreases the capacitance, hence energy stored in the capacitor decreases.
