PHY 102 Capacitors and Capacitance Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

If the area of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is doubled, what happens to the capacitance?
Options
A Halved
B Doubled
Correct Answer
C Quadrupled
D Unchanged
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Capacitance is directly proportional to plate area (C ∝ A). Doubling the area doubles the capacitance.

Hint

More area → more charge storage.
