Question

Physics Question on electrostatic potential and capacitance

The capacitance CC of a capacitor is

A

independent of the charge and potential of the capacitor

B

dependent on the charge and independent of potential

C

independent of the geometrical configuration of the capacitor

D

independent of the dielectric medium between the two conducting surfaces of the capacitor

Answer

independent of the geometrical configuration of the capacitor

Explanation

Solution

Capacitance C=QVC=\frac{Q}{V}
For a dielectric media C=εAdC=\frac{\varepsilon A}{d}
Therefore capacitance CC of a capacitor is independent of the geometrical configuration of the capacitor.
