Question

Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is not affected by
1. area of plates
2. thickness of plates
3. separation between plates
4. nature of dielectric

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : thickness of plates

Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given as \(C = \frac{{{\epsilon_r}{\epsilon_o}A}}{d}\). Thus the capacitance will depend on dielectric medium, area of plates and distance between plates but not thickness of plates.
