On what factors does the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor depend

Answered by admin @



We know that capacitance of any "parallel plate" capacitor is...

C =£A/d.

where ....
£ = permittivity of dielectric inside plates.

A = Area of plates.

d= distance between plates.


so by this we can say that the capacitance of capacitor is.......

1. directly proportional to the permittivity of dielectric inside plates.

2. Directly proportional to the area of plates.

3. Inversely proportional to distance between plates.
