$A$ parallel plate air capacitor is charged to a potential difference of $V \text{ volts}$. After disconnecting the charging battery,the distance between the plates of the capacitor is increased using an insulating handle. As a result,the potential difference between the plates

If the plates of a parallel plate capacitor connected to a battery are moved close to each other,then
$A$. the charge stored in it,increases.
$B$. the energy stored in it,decreases.
$C$. its capacitance increases.
$D$. the ratio of charge to its potential remains the same.
$E$. the product of charge and voltage increases.

Five conducting parallel plates having area $A$ and separation between them $d$ are placed as shown in the figure. Plate number $2$ and $4$ are connected by a wire,and between point $A$ and $B$,a cell of emf $E$ is connected. The charge flown through the cell is

$A$ capacitor is made of a flat plate of area $A$ and a second plate of stair-like structure as shown in the figure. The area of each stair is $\frac{A}{3}$ and the height is $d$. The capacitance of the arrangement is

Four identical metal plates are located in air at equal distance $d$ from each other. The area of each plate is $S$. If the outer most plates are connected by a conducting wire as shown in the figure, the capacitance between points $A$ and $B$ will be

$A$ parallel plate capacitor is charged and then disconnected from the charging battery. If the plates are now moved further apart by pulling them by means of insulating handles,then
