Question

How will the capacitance change if we increase the distance between the two plates?

Answer 1

Capacitance:

1. The ability of a component or circuit to build up and store electrical charge, a form of energy, is known as capacitance.
2. Capacitors are devices that store energy and exist in a range of shapes and sizes.

The capacitance change if we increase the distance between the two plates:

1. The expression of the capacitance of a parallel place capacitor is $C=\frac{\epsilon A}{d}$ where, $\epsilon$ is the dielectric constant, $A$ the area of the plates, and $d$ the distance between plates.
2. The capacitance of a capacitor reduces with an increase in the space between its two plates.
3. The electrostatic force field that exists between the plates directly relates to the capacitance of the capacitor.
4. As the plates are spaced farther apart, the field gets smaller.
