Answer:

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates  

e. Energy stored in the capacitor

Explanation:

Let A be the area of the capacitor plate

The capacitance of a capacitor is given as;

[tex]C = \frac{Q}{V} = \frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} \\\\[/tex]

where;

V is the potential difference between the plates

The charge on the plates is given as;

[tex]Q = \frac{V\epsilon _0 A}{d}[/tex]

The energy stored in the capacitor is given as;

[tex]E = \frac{1}{2} CV^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} )V^2[/tex]

Thus, the physical variables listed that will change include;

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates  

e. Energy stored in the capacitor
