Question

The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is inversely proportional to ___________.

• A. Area of each plate
• B. Dielectric constant
• C. Permittivity of medium
• D. Distance between two plates

Answer 1

The correct option is D Distance between two plates

Capacitance is the ability of a component or circuit to collect and store energy in the form of an electrical charge. It depends upon the physical dimensions of the capacitor.

For a parallel plate capacitor, it is given as

$C=\frac{A{ϵ}_0}{d}$

$⟹C\propto \frac{1}{d}$
