A paralel plate capacitory has each plate of ara A=10 sq. cm. it is given a charge of 1 C. as one of the plates was slightly damaged it was cut annd the plate area was reduced to 5 sq. cm. the quantity of charge on each plate will

A

increase

B

decrease

C

remain constant

D

be doubled

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
