Question

To increase the charge on the plate of a capacitor means to

A

decrease the potential difference between the plates

B

decrease the capacitance of the capacitor

C

increase the capacitance of the capacitor

D

increase the potential difference between the plates

Answer

increase the potential difference between the plates

Explanation

Solution

$\because q \propto V$ for $q = C V$
$\Rightarrow$ as charge on capacitor increases means P.D. between plates increases.
