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.
