Pulling apart a capacitor
Electricity and Magnetism
Level
2
A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance \( 10 \ \mu \text{F}\) is charged to \( 50 \ \mu \text{C}\) using a battery, and is then disconnected from the circuit. How much energy (in microjoules) is required to pull apart the plates such that the distance \(d \) between them is doubled?
