$A$ parallel plate capacitor is charged to a certain potential and the charging battery is then disconnected. Now,if the plates of the capacitor are moved apart,then:

  • A
    The stored energy of the capacitor increases
  • B
    Charge on the capacitor increases
  • C
    Voltage of the capacitor decreases
  • D
    The capacitance increases
