Figure 1 _ A capacitor ottwo identical plates witn equal and opposite charges +Q and -Q 
A capacitor is constructed trom two square parallel plates with equal and opposite charges. Their area is much greater than the square ot the distance between them (the sketch is not to scale). The 
capacitor has a capacitance at C = 3.16"F and plates nave charge Q = 8.27 mC. 
part 1) 
What is the potential difference beüeen the plates? 
IAVI 
part 2) 
The distance between the plates is now quadrupled, while the charge remains unchanged. What is IAVI now? 
IAVI 
part 3) 
What is the capacitance in this case? 
Check

The potential is related to the charge and capacitance through: 
IA VI = 
You just need to substitute the numbers im Remember to convert from "F to F and mc to C
