Question

If two capacitors, A and B, have the same area and dielectric constant, but the distance between the plates of A is twice the distance between the plates of B, which has the higher capacitance? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Plate B will have a higher capacitance

Explanation:

One of the conditions affecting the capacitance of a capacitor is spacing between plates, the greater the spacing the lesser the capacitance and vice versa.

Hence plate B will have the B will have higher capacitance since the spacing is less when compared with that of plate A
