We did not find results for: Choose the best combination of the following that describes the properties of a parallel plate capacitor.A. If the area of the plates is increased the capacitance increases.B. This is because more electrons can fit on the plates with the same force between them (the same potential is applied).C. When the area of the plates is increased the capacitance decreases.D. This is because less electrons can fit on the plates with the same force between them (the same potential is applied).E. If the separation between the plates is increased the capaciatnce also increases.F. This is because the electric field between the plates increases (same applied voltage).G. The capacitance decreses as the separation between the plates increases.H. This is because the electric field between the plates decreases (same applied voltage).I. None of the above is true.. Try the suggestions below or type a new query above.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the Area of the plates.

A ) when the area Increases, Capacitance also increases.

The reason is if there is more area , the field flux will be large and has a lot of charge collected on the plates ; as aresult more Capacitance if more area.

The capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between the plates. That's why

G) when the distance between the plates is increased the capacitance Decreases.

When the spacing is closer, field force will be large; When the spacing is farther , field force will be small.
