5. The figure below shows a parallel-plate capacitor. In what follows, assume for
simplicity that the electric field around the center of the plates is equivalent to the
electric field produced by infinite plates charged uniformly all over their surface.
In the figures, Q stands for the initial charge accumulated in the top plate, E is the
electric field in the central region between the plates, and d is the distance between
the plates.

the figure) increases the distance between the plates
