If the distance between two closely spaced parallel plates is halved (at fixed voltage), the electric field between them is:
Options
A Is also halved
B Becomes only 1/4 as large
C Remains the same
D Is doubled
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For plates held at a fixed potential difference, E = V/d. Halving d doubles E.

Hint

For plates held at a fixed potential difference, E = V/d.
