I have a very strange question that's been on my mind lots lately.
Best way to ask it is with an example.
Say I have a 100 microfarad capacitor charged with 10 volts,
and then was able to bring the capacitor plates closer together,
to say half the distance apart.
What would happen to that 10 volt charge?
Would the voltage increase to say 20 volts?
Would it then have 200 microfarads of charge stored there?
My logical understanding of capacitance tells me something
has to increase, either voltage or stored charge or both.
Thanks.
