Question: A parallel-plate capacitor initially has capacitance (C). What is the capacitance after each of the following single changes is made: (a) plate separation distance doubled,

A parallel-plate capacitor initially has capacitance \(C\). What is the capacitance after each of the following single changes is made:

(a) plate separation distance doubled,

(b) dielectric material inserted,

(c) potential difference across plates doubled, 

\((d)\) plate area halved, 

\((e)\) applied emf increased until plate charge doubles.
