The capacitance of a capacitor does not depend on the absolute permittivity of the medium between the plates.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was posed to me in a job interview.Asked question is from Basic Network Concepts topic in portion Circuit Elements and Kirchhoff’s Laws of Network Theory

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) False

To explain I would SAY: C = Ɛ \(\frac{A}{d}\)

Where d is the distance between the PLATES, A is the cross-sectional area of the plates and Ɛ is absolute permittivity of the MEDIUM between the plates.

Hence, the capacitance of a capacitor DEPENDS on the absolute permittivity of the medium between the plates.
