Not much if it is a fixed capaitor. If it is a variable capacitor, rotating the shaft to mesh the two sets of plates more closely will increase the capacitance.

What is a capacitor analyzer designed to read?
Capacitor voltage
What will happen to phase angle if the the value of capacitor is increase?
in a series RC circuit phase angle is directly proportional to the capacitance
What is the difference betbeen capacitor and condensor?
A: Both nomenclature are indicator of capacitance it can be used both ways. However the predominate usage is capacitor since it resemble capacitance
Capacitance is the property of an electrical circuit that?
A capacitor resists a change in voltage, proportional to current, and inversely proportional to capacitance. The equation of a capacitor is dv/dt = i/c.
What is the total capacitance of three 30 micro-farad capacitors connected in parallel?
The equivalent capacitance of a 30uF capacitor in parallel with a 20uF capacitor is 50uF.
Function of dielectric in a capacitor?
The main role of dielectrics in capacitors is to increase the value of capacitance of the capacitor.
Why does capacitance increase when the distance between the plates of a capacitor is increased?
you have it reversed. capacitance increases with decrease in distance of plates.
What will be the effect on ripple factor if the value of capacitor is reduced?
Ripples will increase if capacitance is decreased.
How do you increase the value of a capacitor?
A: Any additional capacitor added in parallel will effectively increase to total capacitance by that value. Note that additional capacitor added must have the same voltage rating as the other
How are the terms capacitor and capacitance related?
Capacitor is the name of the device and capacitance is a measure of farads in the capacitor. Capacitance is the capacity for storing charge in the capacitor as measured in farads, micro farads or millifarads.
What will the affect of capacitance of a capacitor when a conductor is placed between a capacitor?
capacitance will tend to zero
How does the size of an electrolyte capacitor vary with its capacitance value?
A: Capacitance vary directly with the area applied the bigger the area the bigger the capacitor. There is another element that will increase the size that is the rating of the capacitor voltage since more material will have to be used to insulate the plates
'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.
What means by the name capacitance of a capacitor?
The capacitor is an electronic device. Capacitance is the energy stored within this device.
What is the difference between capacitor and capacitance?
A capacitor is a device that stores an electrical charge, or if you prefer- resists any change in voltage applied to it. Capacitance is a measure of the size or ability of a capacitor to do that. This is the Farad
What is a capacitor analyzer designed to read?
Capacitor voltage
What will happen to phase angle if the the value of capacitor is increase?
in a series RC circuit phase angle is directly proportional to the capacitance
