Capacitance increases with_____________?

Correct answer: A. increase in plate area and decrease in distance between the plates

  • A. increase in plate area and decrease in distance between the plates
  • B. increase in plate area and distance between the plates
  • C. decrease in plate area and value of applied voltage
  • D. reduction in plate area and distance between the plates

Explanation

For a parallel-plate capacitor, C = εA/d, so increasing plate area A and reducing plate spacing d both increase capacitance. Applied voltage does not change the ideal capacitance value.
