Question

In a parallel plate capacitor, the capacity increases if

area of the plate is decreased

distance between the plates increases

area of the plate is increased

dielectric constant decrease

Answer

area of the plate is increased

Explanation

Solution

In a parallel plate capacitor, the capacity of capacitor,
$C = \frac{k \varepsilon_0 A}{d}$
therefore C $\propto$ A
So, the capacity of capacitor increase if area of the plate is increased.
