State the focator on which the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor depends.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor, `C=(Ak_(epsi_0))/(d)`. Hence the capacitance is
(i) directly proportional to the area A the plates, and the relative permitivity k of the dielectric medium between the plates.
(ii) inversely proportional to the separation d of the plates.
