Aparallel-plate capacitor connected to a battery becomes fully charged. after the capacitor from the battery is disconnected, the separation between the plates of the capacitor is doubled in such a way that no charge leaks off. how is the energy stored in the capacitor affected? a parallel-plate capacitor connected to a battery becomes fully charged. after the capacitor from the battery is disconnected, the separation between the plates of the capacitor is doubled in such a way that no charge leaks off. how is the energy stored in the capacitor affected? the energy stored in the capacitor is decreased to one-fourth of its original value. the energy stored in the capacitor is decreased to one-half of its original value. the energy stored in the capacitor doubles its original value. the energy stored in the capacitor quadruples its original value. the energy stored in the capacitor remains constant. submitrequest answer provide feedback next
