This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(c), (d) Case A: When key K is kept closed and plates of capacitors are moved apart using insulating handle.
The battery maintains the potential difference across connected capacitor in every circumstance. The separation between two plates increases which in turn decreases its capacitance (C=? 0A/d)and potential difference across connected capacitor continue to be the same as capacitor is still connected with battery. So the charge stored decreases as Q = CV.Case B: When key K is opened and plates of capacitors are moved apart using insulating handle.The charge s

This chapter covers the concepts of potential, capacitors, and potential energy. It is considered as one of the easy chapter of the class 12 Physics.
It is the farad (F). The name came from Michael Faraday. SI Unit of Capacitance means the ability of a system to store an electric charge. One farad is the capacitance of a device that needs one coulomb of charge to provide one volt potential difference across it. Mathematically, it is represented by - 1 Farad = 1 Coulomb/Volt.
