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 = eps A/d: proportional to A and eps, but INVERSELY proportional to d, not directly. So i & iii.

Hint

C = eps A/d: proportional to A and eps, but INVERSELY proportional to d, not directly.
