Question

The capacity of parallel plate capacitor depends on


Open in App
Solution

Mathematical expression:

The capacity of a parallel plate capacitor is given by C=Kϵ0Ad

Where,

  1. K is the relative permittivity of dielectric material
  2. ϵ0 is the permittivity of space
  3. A is the area of plates
  4. d is the separation between the plates

The dependency:

  1. The capacity of the plate is directly proportional to the relative permittivity of dielectric material.
  2. It is directly proportional to the permittivity of space
  3. It is also directly proportional to the area of plates
  4. And is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates.

Therefore, the capacity of a parallel plate capacitor directly depends on the relative permittivity of dielectric material, the permittivity of space, the area of plates, and is inversely dependent on the separation between the plates.
