Question

Increasing the charge on the plates of a capacitor means increasing the capacitance Capacitance is directly proportional to charge

• 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: (D)

If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 2

On increasing the charge, potential increases. But capacity of a capacitor is fixed by geometry of condenser $\left(C=\frac{\varepsilon_{0}A}{d}\right)$. Capacitance is independent of charge
