12. Keep the battery connected to the capacitor. With voltage at 1.5 V across capacitor and its area

constant at 100 mm2, slowly decrease the distance between the plates of capacitor to 2.0 mm. Observe the changes and provide reasoning in the table below.

C: Capacitance, Q: Charge on the capacitor, V: Voltage across the capacitor, E: Electric field

between the plates of capacitor
