[Haya94]

A parallel plate capacitor of capacitance C₀ has plates of area A with separation d between them. When it is connected to a battery of voltage V₀, it has charge of magnitude Q₀ on its plates. It is then disconnected from the battery and the plates are pulled apart to a separation 2d without discharging them. After the plates are 2d apart, the magnitude of the charge on the plates and the potential difference between them are what?
   
  a.
  Q₀, V₀
   
  b.
  Q₀, V₀
   
  c.
  Q₀, V₀
   
  d.
  Q₀, 2V₀
   
  e.
  2Q₀, 2V₀
