A mica capacitor and a ceramic capacitor both have the same physical dimensions. Which will have more value of capacitance _______?

Question

TestUstad · Accepted Answer

Ceramic capacitor. 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.

Mica capacitor

TestUstad · Answer

Both will have identical value of capacitance

TestUstad · Answer

It depends on applied voltage
