Question
The capacitance of a capacitor does not depend on:
✓
Answer
- The charges on the plates.
The capacitance of a capacitor is given by:
$\text{C}=\frac{\epsilon_0\text{A}}{\text{d}}$
Here, A is the area of the plates of the capacitor and d is the distance between the plates.
So, we can clearly see that the capacitance of a capacitor does depend on the size and shape of the plates and the separation between the plates; it does not depend on the charges on the plates.
