Capacitance increases with __________

Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) : Capacitors - Quiz(MCQ)

Decrease in plate area

Increase in distance between the plates

Increase in density of the material

Decrease in distance between the plates

Correct Answer : Option (D) : Decrease in distance between the plates

Explanation : Capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between the two parallel plates. Hence, as the distance between the plate decreases, the capacitance increases.
