In a parallel plate capacitor, the capacity increases if

  1. A area of the plate is decreased
  2. B distance between the plates increases
  3. C area of the plate is increased
  4. D dielectric constant decrease
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) area of the plate is increased

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In a parallel plate capacitor, the capacity of capacitor,
\(
C=\frac{k \varepsilon_{0} A}{d}
\)
\(\therefore\) \(C \propto A\)
So, the capacity of capacitor increase if area of the plate is increased.
