does voltage potential decrease as you increase the distance of separation between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor or does the voltage potential increase?
It depends upon whether battery is connected to the capacitor or not
Case1 When battery is connect then Potential is constant and c and q thing changes
c=Ae/d so if we increase d, c will decrease
but q=cv =>v=q/c
but v=constant
so q will increase as c decrease so that v remains constant.
Case2
when battery is not connected then q will remain constant
c decrease
v increases as q=cv
