A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it to a battery. The battery is disconnected and the plates of the capacitor are pulled apart to make the separation between the plates twice. Again the capacitor is connected to the battery (with same polarity) then
  • A
    Charge from the battery flows into the capacitor after reconnection
  • B
    Charge from capacitor flows into the battery after reconnection.
  • C
    The potential difference between the plates increases when the plates are pulled apart.
  • D$B$ and $C$ both
