What happens to the capacitance of a multi plate capacitor when the distance of separation between the plate increases?(a) Increases(b) Decreases(c) Remains constant(d) Becomes zeroThis question was posed to me in quiz.My question is from Capacitance of a Multi Plate Capacitor topic in chapter Capacitance and Capacitors of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer»

Correct answer is (b) Decreases

The explanation is: When the distance of separation between the plates INCREASES, the capacitance decreases SINCE it is related by the formula C=Actual PERMITTIVITY*(n-1)*A/d. Here, we can see that the capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance of separation.
