    The distance between the plates of a parallel plate condenser is \[4mm\] and potential difference is\[60\ volts\]. If the distance between the plates is increased to\[12mm\], then

    A)                    The potential difference of the condenser will become \[180\ volts\]

    B)                    The P.D. will become \[20\ volts\]

    C)                    The P.D. will remain unchanged

    D)                    The charge on condenser will reduce to one third         

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               For capacitor \[\frac{{{V}_{1}}}{{{V}_{2}}}=\frac{{{d}_{1}}}{{{d}_{2}}}\]Þ\[{{V}_{2}}=\frac{{{V}_{1}}\times {{d}_{2}}}{{{d}_{1}}}=\frac{60\times 12}{4}=180\,V\]
