Question

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor does not depend on:


area of the plates

medium between the plates

distance between the plates

the material of which the plates are made

Answer 1

the formula for capacitance C of a paralle-plate capacitor, is:
\[\Large C = {\varepsilon _0}\frac{S}{d}\]
where S is the surface of each plate, and d is the distance between those plates. \epsilon_zero is a constant

Answer 2

parallel*-plate

Answer 3

Ohh ok! So would it be the material of which the plates are made? because everything else you need to find out

Answer 4

or the area of the plates? sorry just a little confused

Answer 5

oops, more precisely, if inside a capacitor there is a medium, with doelectric constant \epsilon_r, then the capacitance is:
\[\Large C = {\varepsilon _0}{\varepsilon _r}\frac{S}{d}\]

Answer 6

I think the material of which the plates are made

Answer 7

ok great! thank you so much!

Answer 8
