IMPORTANT

Assertion: A parallel plate capacitor is charged by connecting it across a battery. The battery is then disconnected and separation between the plates is decreased as a result of which the energy stored in the capacitor decreases.

Reason: Energy stored in the capacitor is equal to the work done in charging the capacitor.
