Physics · Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with and without dielectric medium between the plates, energy stored in a capacitor

The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is inversely proportional to

The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is inversely proportional to

  • A. Area of each plate
  • B. Dielectric constant
  • C. Permittivity of medium
  • D. Distance between two plates

Step-by-step solution

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by C = εA/d, where ε is permittivity, A is plate area, and d is separation. So C is inversely proportional to d.
