Question

the capacity of a parallel plate condenser can be increased on:
1)increasing the distance between the palate
2)decreasing the distance between the palate
3)increase the charge on it
4)decrease the charge on it​

Answer 1

Answer:

The formula to calculate the Capacitance of a Parallel Plate Capacitor is given as:

$\boxed{\bf{\textbf{Capacitance} = \dfrac{A \epsilon_0}{d}}}$

where, 'A' is the area of cross section of the plates and 'd' is the distance between the two plates.

This implies, Capacitance is directly proportional to the area of cross section and inversely proportional to the distance between the two plates of the capacitor.

According to the question, the capacitance needs to be increased. So we can do this by increasing the Area of cross section of the plates or by decreasing the distance between the plates.

Since we only have a distance based option:

Option (2) will be the correct answer.

Hence we can increase it by decreasing the distance between the plates.

Answer 2

Answer:

The formula to calculate the Capacitance of a Parallel Plate Capacitor is given as:

\boxed{\bf{\textbf{Capacitance} = \dfrac{A \epsilon_0}{d}}}

Capacitance=

d

Aϵ

0

where, 'A' is the area of cross section of the plates and 'd' is the distance between the two plates.

This implies, Capacitance is directly proportional to the area of cross section and inversely proportional to the distance between the two plates of the capacitor.
