12th Class Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Case Based (MCQs) - Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    In a parallel plate capacitor, the capacity increases if:

    A) area of the plate is decreases

    B) distance between the plates increases                 

    C) area of the plate is increases

    D) dielectric constant decreases

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (c) area of the plate is increases In a parallel plate capacitor, the capacity of capacitor \[C=\frac{K{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d}\]i.e., \[C\propto A\] The capacity of capacitor increases, if area of the plate increases.
