Which of the following would increase the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor?

Answer»

Using smaller plates
Replacing the dielectric material between the plates with one that has a smaller dielectric CONSTANT
DECREASING the voltage between the plates
movingi the plates closer together

Solution :The CAPACITANCE of a parallel-plate capacitor is `C=Kepsi_(0)A//d`, where K is the dielectric constant, A is the area of each plate, and d is their separation distance. Decreasing d will cause C to INCREASE.
