Charge is conserved. Capacitance decreases Q²/2C increases

@Opt bro can you explain briefly

Once the battery is disconnected, there is no charge flow possible, right? So the charge gets conserved. Now, the energy is given by q²/2C And C = Aε/d, so U = q²d/2Aε right? Keeping area and permittivity constant, (and charge is already constant), we see that U is directly proportional to d

@Opt ok now understands me u = 1/2 cv² se k rha tha

Haan, par V constant nahi hota hain yahaan That's the important point

If there is a cell, it will maintain V by changing q. If there isn't a cell, q will be maintained by changing V.

@Opt but it's a battery

There isn't a battery na? Disconnected

@Opt first it's connected with battery and after this it is discon Disconnected* Plate is already charged

Yeah, that battery just gives an amount of charge q to the capacitor And then q is conserved

Yaa after separation q is conserved

Ok, so what are you not understanding ?

How the electrostatic energy of capacitor increased e is inversely propotional to d hota h na to wo decrease Hoga an

No, it's directly proportional See this
