two thin metal plates on insulating stands are placed side by side. assume the electric field is uniform between the plates. the uniform electric field between the plates is directly proportional to the amount of charge on the plates and does not depend on the distance from each plate. the charge on one plate is q; on the other, -q. the two metal plates are discharged and then connected to a battery as shown. how does each of the following quantities change (if at all) when the two plates are moved closer together?
