Question

What is meant by capacity of a conductor? Can
it be increased? In what way this can be
achived? Explain.​

Answer 1

The ability of a conductor to store charge is known as capacity of conductor or capacitance.

Explanation:  

Let’s take an example of capacitor. Capacitor plates are made of conductor. They are used to store electric charge which is called capacitance of capacitor. The formula for the capacitance of capacitor is

                                                C = Aε/d

Where “A” is the area of plates and d is the separation between plates. If the area of conductor is increased then its capacity will increase.

Its unit is Farad.
