Question

How capacitance changes if the distance between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor
is halved?
(b) Becomes half
(a) Does not change
(c) Doubled
(d) Becomes one fourth​

Answer 1

Answer:

The capacitance between plates will reduce to half of the original value. Capacitance is defined as the ratio between "change in an electric charge in a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential." Thus, capacitance will be half of the original value.
