The capacitance between two plates increases with____________?
Correct answer: D. larger plate area and shorter distance between plates
- A. shorter plate area and higher applied voltage
- B. shorter plate area and shorter distance between them
- C. larger plate area, longer distance between plates and higher,applied voltage
- D. larger plate area and shorter distance between plates
Explanation
For parallel plates, C = εA/d, so capacitance increases with plate area and decreases when the separation is reduced. Applied voltage does not determine the capacitance of a linear capacitor.
