The dependent variable is the slime on Gary's shell, because it's depending on other factors (independent factors).
B. Interdependence among specie
Answer:
Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C
Explanation:

Where A is the area, d is the gap between plates and ε₀ is the dielectric constant.
Let C₁ be the capacitance of first capacitor with area A₁ and gap between plates d₁.
We have

Similarly for capacitor 2

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C
