Problem

A capacitor of capacitance 5 μF5\,\mu\text{F} stores a charge QQ when connected to a 200 V200\,\text{V} source. If the capacitance is increased to 15 μF15\,\mu\text{F} while the stored charge remains the same, what will be the new potential difference across the capacitor? Give your answer with brief reasoning.
