The capacitance of parallel plates capacitors varies
A
inversely as the square of the distance between the plates
B
directly as the square of the distance between the plates
C
inversely as the distance between the plates
D
directly as the distance between the plate
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
capacitance C is the ability of the capacitor to store charges. and it depends on the size A, shape, and separation d of the conductors and the material separating them ε
C = \(\frac{εA}{d}\)
C is inversely proportional to d.
