$A$ parallel plate capacitor is charged by a battery and then the battery is disconnected. If the distance between the plates is increased using an insulated handle,then:

  • A
    The charge on the capacitor increases and the capacitance decreases.
  • B
    The potential difference between the plates increases.
  • C
    The capacitance of the capacitor increases.
  • D
    The energy stored in the capacitor decreases.
