Question

The capacitance of a capacitor does not depend on
(a) the shape of the plates
(b) the size of the plates
(c) the charges on the plates
(d) the separation between the plates.

Answer 1

(c) the charges on the plates

The capacitance of a capacitor is given by

C = $\frac{{\in }_{0}A}{d}$

Here, A is the area of the plates of the capacitor and d is the distance between the plates.
So, we can clearly see that the capacitance of a capacitor does depend on the size and shape of the plates and the separation between the plates; it does not depend on the charges on the plates.
