Which outcome results when increasing the plate separation in a charged parallel-plate capacitor?

💡 Explanation

Increasing plate separation increases voltage because the capacitance (Q=CV) changes proportionally with distance; this is driven by electrostatic repulsion. This capacitance decreases, voltage increases, therefore the electric potential difference increases rather than staying constant or decreasing, due to energy conservation.
