Question on: JAMB Physics - 2024
The capacitance of a capacitor, C, is inversely proportional to
A
area of the plate
B
dielectric substance
C
distance between plate
D
direction of the plate
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the formula: C = ε0 * A / d, where:
- C is the capacitance
- ε0 is the permittivity of free space (a constant)
- A is the area of the plates
- d is the distance between the plates
From the formula, it is clear that capacitance (C) is inversely proportional to the distance (d) between the plates.
