Question

The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are maintained with a constant voltage by a battery as they are pushed together, without touching. How is the amount of charge on the plates affected during this process? Question 3 options: The amount of charge on the plates becomes zero. The amount of charge remains constant. The amount of charge on the plates increases during this process. The amount of charge on the plates decreases during this process.

Answer 1

The amount of charge on the plates increases during this process

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to maintain a constant voltage across the plates, pushing the plates closer will increase the charge on the plate
