The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor can be written as _.

Correct answer: B. Aεo/d

  • A. A/d
  • B. Aεo/d
  • C. Aεo/2d
  • D. Aεo/d2

Explanation

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the equation:C = Aεo/dWhere C is the capacitance, A is the area of each plate, d is the distance between the plates, and ε0 is the permittivity of free space.All other options are incorrect

About Electrostatics

Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
