A) A vacuum-based parallel plate capacitor is connected to a 5.5 V power supply. The plates have an area of 2 mm22 and are 5 mm apart. What is the capacitance of the capacitor?

Correct answer: 3.54E-09 uF

B) What is the charge of the positive end of the capacitor?

Correct answer: 1.95E-08 uC

C) Suppose that the capacitor is disconnected from the power supply and the plate separation is increased to 7 mm. How much energy must be used to increase the plate separation ?(Assume no loss of energy to heat or any other such complication.)

A and B are corrected answer. I need help on C please!!! C is not = 2.2*10^-8 uJ (wrong answer)
