31: Capacitors
- #1The 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: cAns : (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.
