Question

Which of the following will increase the capacitance betweenthe plates of a parallel plate capacitor? A) increase the charge on the plates B) decrease the potential between the plates C) introduce a dielectric material between the plates D) increase the potential between the plates E) none of the above Why? Which of the following will increase the capacitance betweenthe plates of a parallel plate capacitor? A) increase the charge on the plates B) decrease the potential between the plates C) introduce a dielectric material between the plates D) increase the potential between the plates E) none of the above Why?

Explanation / Answer

   capacitance   C   =   K* 0 * A / d    i.e.    to increasecapacitance     C) introduce a dielectric material between the plates (increase the value of K)    Since neither charge (Q) nor potentialdifference (V) occurs in above formula, these will have no effecton capacitance. C) introduce a dielectric material between the plates (increase the value of K)    Since neither charge (Q) nor potentialdifference (V) occurs in above formula, these will have no effecton capacitance.
