A mica capacitor and a ceramic capacitor both have the same physical dimensions. Which will have more value of capacitance _______?
Correct answer: A. Ceramic capacitor
- A. Ceramic capacitor
- B. Mica capacitor
- C. Both will have identical value of capacitance
- D. It depends on applied voltage
Explanation
Capacitance is proportional to dielectric permittivity when plate area and separation are fixed, and ceramic generally has a higher dielectric constant than mica. Therefore, the ceramic capacitor normally gives the greater capacitance for the same dimensions.
