[amp_mcq option1=”shorter plate area and higher applied voltage” option2=”shorter plate area and shorter distance between them” option3=”larger plate area, longer distance between plates and higher,applied voltage” option4=”larger plate area and shorter distance between plates” correct=”option4″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: D. larger plate area and shorter distance between plates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Capacitance is the ability of a body to store an electric charge. It is measured in farads (F). The capacitance of a capacitor is given by the formula:<\/p>\n $C = \\frac{\\varepsilon_0 A}{d}$<\/p>\n where:<\/p>\n From the formula, we can see that the capacitance is proportional to the area of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates. Therefore, the capacitance increases with larger plate area and shorter distance between plates.<\/p>\n Option A is incorrect because the capacitance decreases with shorter plate area.<\/p>\n Option B is incorrect because the capacitance is not affected by the applied voltage.<\/p>\n Option C is incorrect because the capacitance increases with larger plate area and decreases with longer distance between plates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [amp_mcq option1=”shorter plate area and higher applied voltage” option2=”shorter plate area and shorter distance between them” option3=”larger plate area, longer distance between plates and higher,applied voltage” option4=”larger plate area and shorter distance between plates” correct=”option4″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[971],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-electrostatics","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
