question 14

Multiple Choice

A 0.120 pF parallel-plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 10.0 V and then disconnected from the battery.A cosmic ray burst creates 1.00 * 106 electrons and 1.00 * 106 positive charges between the plates.If the charges do not recombine, but reach the oppositely charged plates, by how much is the potential difference between the capacitor plates reduced?

• A)1.33 V
• B)7.34 V
• C)8.67 V
• D)1330 V
• E)8670 V
