Question

Capacity of a parallel plate capacitor increases when distance between the plates is decreased Capacitance of capacitor is inversely proportional to distance between them

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

Answer 2

Capacitance of parallel plate capacitor is $C=\frac{\varepsilon_{0} A}{d}$ where $A$ is the area of each plate and $d$ is separation between them. Thus if distance decreases, capacitance of capacitor increases
