The capacity of a parallel plate condenser can be increased by

A

decreasing the area of the plates

B

increasing the area of the plates

C

increasing the distance between plates

D

decreasing dielectric constant of the medium

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

for a parallel plate capacitor,
`C=(KA epsi_(0))/(d)` i.e., `CpropA`
thus C can be increased by increasing the area of the plates.
