PHY 102 Capacitors and Capacitance Objective Question

Question

Which of the following factors does NOT affect the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor?
Options
A Area of the plates
B Distance between the plates
C Material of the plates
Correct Answer
D Dielectric material between the plates
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Capacitance depends on plate area, separation, and dielectric permittivity, but not on the material of the plates themselves (assuming conductors).

Hint

Plate material doesn't matter as long as it's conductive.
