To reduce the capacitance of parallel plate capacitor, the space between the plate is

A

filled with dielectric material

B

reduce and area of the plates is increased

C

increased and area of the plates is decreased

D

increased and area is increased relatively

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`C=epsilon_(0) A/d`
So increasing area and decreasing distance between plates results in increases capacitances.
