Example Question #2 : Other Electrostatic Concepts
If the area of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is doubled and the distance between the plates is halved, then the capacitance is __________.
Possible Answers:
quadrupled
doubled
halved
unchanged
quartered
Correct answer:
quadrupled
Explanation:
Capacitance is directly proportional to area of the parallel plates and indirectly proportional to the distance between the plates. So and area is doubled and distance is halved so the capacitance increases by a factor of 4.
