$%etch graphs to show the time !ariation of the !oltage# across the capacitor and the current in the circuit after closing switch $. .riefly e'plain your answer. (ii) A student uses a !oltmeter of resistance 3 to chec% the !oltage across the capacitor and finds that the reading falls from an initial !alue to a final steady !alue 4*. .riefly e'plain why this is so. (iii) /ith switch $ closed# the plates of the capacitor are pulled apart slightly. escribe and e'plain the possible change(s) in the charge and the energy stored in the capacitor when the steady state is reached.
