Capacitor was disconnected from the potential source

Reference no: EM13542088

A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.56J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 3.80mm. If the separation is decreased to 1.45mm,

Part A:

what is the energy now stored if the capacitor was disconnected from the potential source before the separation of the plates was changed?

Part B:

What is the energy now stored if the capacitor remained connected to the potential source while the separation of the plates was changed?
