    The capacitance of a capacitor does not depend on
    (a) the shape of the plates
    (b) the size of the plates
    (c) the charges on the plates
    (d) the separation between the plates.
    digAnsr:   c
    Ans : (c) the charges on the plates
    The capacitance of a capacitor is given by
    C = `` \frac{{\in }_{0}A}{d}``
    Here, A is the area of the plates of the capacitor and d is the distance between the plates.
    So, we can clearly see that the capacitance of a capacitor does depend on the size and shape of the plates and the separation between the plates; it does not depend on the charges on the plates.
