MCQ
In a parallel plate capacitor, the capacity increases if:
- AArea of the plate is decreased.
- BDistance between the plates is increases.
- CArea of the plate is increased.
- DDielectric constant decreases.
✓
Answer
- Area of the plate is increased.
Explanation:
Hint:- Check the dependence of capacitance on certain quantities.
In a parallel plate capacitor, the capacitance is $\text{C}=\frac{\text{k}\in_0\text{A}}{\text{d}};$
Where, k is the dielectric constant, $\in_0$ is the permittivity constant, A is the area of the conduction and d is the distance between plates.
From here we can see C is directly proportional to k, $\in_0$,A and inversely proportional to d.

Consider the two idealised systems: (i) a parallel plate capacitor with large plates and small separation and (ii) a long solenoid of length L > > R, radius of cross-section. In (i), E is ideally treated as a constant between plates and zero outside. In (ii), magnetic field is constant inside the solenoid and zero outside. These idealised assumptions, however, contradict fundamental laws as below:
