Part A If the spacing between the plates is doubled, how is the magnitude of charge on the plates affected? The magnitude of charge on the plates would stay the same. The magnitude of charge on the plates would decrease. O The magnitude of charge on the plates would increase. Submit Request Answer

Explanation / Answer

Answer is magnitude of charge on the plates would decrease.

Explanation :

Here the capacitance of a parallel plates capacitor is directly proportional to the area of plate and inversely proportional to distances between plates.

Hence the capacitance would decrease if the distances is increased
