Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Capacitance is inversely proportional to the physical size of the plates as determined by the plate area
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Note: Capacitance depends on the area of the plates, the separation between the plates and the nature of the dielectric material placed between the plates. The thickness of the plates do not contribute to the area of the plates and hence has no effect on the capacitance of the plate.

Detailed explanation-2: -The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor depends only on geometric properties; it is proportional to the area of the plates and inversely proportional to the width of the gap between the plates.
