The plates of a parallel plate capacitor of capacity $50\,\mu F$ are charged to a potential of $100\;V$ and then disconnected from the battery. The distance between the plates is then doubled. How much work is done in doing so?

  • A
    $25 \times 10^{-2}\,J$
  • B
    $-12.5 \times 10^{-2}\,J$
  • C
