Does the electrostatic energy stored in the capacitor change when the plates are pulled apart?
Can you explain what capacitance is and how it works in a capacitor?
Sure, capacitance is the ability of an object or system to store an electric charge. In a capacitor, capacitance is created by two parallel plates separated by a dielectric material. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, a charge builds up on the plates, which creates an electric field between the plates. This electric field stores energy in the capacitor, which can be used to power other devices or systems.
