An initially uncharged parallel plate capacitor of capacitance, C, is charged to potential, V, by a battery. The battery is then disconnected. Which statement is correct?
A) The capacitor can be discharged by grounding any one of its two plates.
B) The magnitude of the electric field outside the space between the plates is approximately zero.
C) Charge is distributed evenly over both the inner and outer surfaces of the plates.
D) There is no charge on either plate of the capacitor.
E) The capacitance increases when the distance between the plates increases.
