$A$ parallel plate capacitor has plate area $A$ and separation between plates is $d$. It is charged to a potential difference of $V_0$ volt. The charging battery is then disconnected and plates are pulled apart to three times the initial distance. The work done to increase the distance between the plates is $(\varepsilon_0 = \text{permittivity of free space})$

  • A
    $\frac{3 \varepsilon_0 A V_0^2}{d}$
  • B
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A V_0^2}{2 d}$
  • C
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A V_0^2}{3 d}$
  • D
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A V_0^2}{d}$
