2. A parallel-plate capacitor has a capacitance of C. If the area of the plates is doubled and
the distance between the plates is doubled, what is the new capacitance?
A) C/4
B) C/2
C)C
D) 4C

Respuesta :

Trancescient

(C)

Explanation:

The capacitance C of a parallel plate capacitor is given by

[tex]C = \epsilon_0 \dfrac{A}{d}[/tex]

Let C' be the new capacitance where the area and the plate separation distance are doubled. This gives us

[tex]C' = \epsilon_0\dfrac{A'}{d'} = \epsilon_0\left(\dfrac{2A}{2d}\right) = \epsilon_0 \dfrac{A}{d} = C[/tex]
