Question

Which of the following is true of the capacitance C of a parallel plate capacitor? (i) C is proportional to the area of the plate, (ii) C is proportional to the distance between the plates. (iii) C is proportional to the permittivity of the medium between the plates
Options
A i & ii
B i & iii
Correct Answer
C ii & iii
D i, ii, iii
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

C = κε₀A/d. C ∝ A (area), C ∝ κ (permittivity), C ∝ 1/d (inversely proportional to distance, not directly). So i and iii are true, ii is false.

Hint

C = εA/d.
