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
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.
