Best Answer

It depends on what the capacitance is.

1. Capacitors may show a positive temperature coefficient,

2. "N750" ceramic capacitors have a negative coefficient of -750 parts per million per degree (ppm/º),

3. "NPO" ceramic types have a substantially zero ppm/º.

Check the Wikipedia entry for "ceramic capacitor" for more info.

No, the temperature does not increase in fact it decreases as the altitude increases yes it does.


Does humidity increase when temperature increases?

No, it only increases when the water level increases; it is not a matter of temperature.


'when frequency is increased why capacitance increases in a capacitor'?

Answer: Capacitance is unaffected by frequency; it does not change. Details: Capacitance is unaffected by frequency. In a capacitor, what increases with Frequency is Admittance (analogus to Conductance) . The capacitive Reactance is inversely proportional to Frequency. Therefore, when Frequency is increased, current flow may increase.


In general an increase in temperature?

A general increase in temperature increases the reaction rate.


In pn junction the depletion region capacitance increase with reverse bias or decrease?

any capacitance is given by equation C = (epsilon * A/ d) where d is distance between two plates, thus as d reduces C increases. Now, in depletion region as we increase reverse bias, the depletion region width increases. Now consider depletion region as a parallel plate capacitor, with positive charges on n side and negative charges on p side. Thus, as reverse bias increases, d of junction capacitance increases thus capacitance reduces. On other hand, as reverse bias reduces, d of junction capacitance reduces, thus capacitance increases. -Amey Churi

What are the impacts of temperature on gas?

The impacts of temperature on gas are manifold. Increase in temperature increases the gas pressure by increasing its volume. It increases the solubility of gas and vice-verse. The viscosity of gas also increases with increase in temperature.


How is the rate of reaction affected when the temperature increases?

As the temperature increases, the reaction time decreases.
