Problem
A parallel plate capacitor is charged and the charging battery is then disconnected. If the plates of the capacitor are moved farther apart by means of insulating handles:
(1) the charge on the capacitor increases.
(2) the voltage across the plates increases.
(3) the capacitance increases.
(4) the electrostatic energy stored in the capacitor increases
