Problem

Two similar parallel-plate capacitors, each of capacitance C0C_0, are connected in series. The combination is connected to a voltage source of V0V_0. The separation between the plates of one capacitor is increased by dd, and that of the other capacitor is decreased by d2\frac{d}{2}. Initially, the plate separation of each capacitor was dd. Select the correct choice. (a) The new capacitance of the system will increase (b) The new capacitance of the system will decrease (c) The new capacitance of the system will remain the same (d) Data insufficient
