Problem
Two students are exploring electric charge using two negatively charged foam plates. The students rub the plates with a wool cloth to add additional negative charge to both plates without changing the plates’ positions. The plates are interacting through an electric field.
How does the energy stored in the field change after the plates become more charged?
